Steve Matai

Reckon he's taking all the time he needs around his neck healing before making a decision.

If he can come back at 100% for 12 months (with Kelly his replacement upon injury and next year) we are a pretty potent force - no more signings required.

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Jorge Taufua
03. Steve Matai
04. Dylan Walker
05. Akuila Uate
06. Blake Green
07. Daly Cherry-Evans

X Jonathan Wright, Brad Parker, Kevin Locke, Ohmar Schleimankel, Brian Kelly, Matthew Wright, Cameron Cullen and Peta Godinet the depth.

Skivy is one of those players that opposition fans love to hate with the usual cries being that he's a grub or thug. But you can bet that those same fans would have loved to have him running around in their teams centres for the past decade pulling off the hits that he has and being the player he has.

Other than from Manly fans, he is one of those players who doesn't get the accolades he deserves.
 
And very popular with teammates. Doesn't always get mentioned but a core group that get along really well together goes a long way to making a champion team.
 
Ahh the hitman one of my all time favorites he will be missed.. best hit he did was on george burgess lol sent the fat bastard flying and he dropped the ball.. deemed high but it came off the ball and bounced up.. then after he along with foran and 1 other sent sammy boyle back wince he came hahaha the investigation game toovey spoke still to this day was a try for your life i had it paused with the ball down.. but the nrl souffs got the call

Jeez we've come a long way. That backline just oozed class and ability. We can't even FIND a 5/8 to play for us these days.
 
new youtube clip, mostly of tries he scored with a few big hits included



Thanks for the memories Castle Eagle, a great reminder of what manly is all about.
Matai was a true competitor and that defence was gutsy and entertaining, I'll miss
those BIG HITS....

THANKS STEVE MATAI YOU WILL ALWAY'S BE REMEMBERED IN MANLY FOLKLORE.
