Matterson

[Easts75]

I know he's been mentioned in other threads but gee I think he came of age tonight. To me it looked like he had complete clarity in his role, simply run hard lines to holes, ball playing was put away on most occasions. Outstanding

[The Axe]

Robbo rated Matto's contribution at the presso

[Rooster_6]

I don't think anyone saw this one coming, I mean I thought he had a good chance of making it as a second rower but not as a lock playing in the middle of the field doing very little ball playing and largely just running the ball.

When Robbo named him over Carter I was sure Cordner would move into the middle but again Robbo has seen something I don't think anyone else did!

2nd most run metres behind only JWH if you don't mind..

[Tommy Smith]

He was awesome.

Such a powerful ball runner and he combines it with speed and footwork. Of course can ball play too.

Robbo has some real selection headaches with SST Liu and Evans lurking!

What a forward pack we have.

Well said Tommy.

Told you Cordner would play on the edge.

[The Brain]

I saw it and said it may times last year he can only get better...he will become our danger man.
Thought he was up there with Ceary, Maubs Tetevano, Michell in our best...Nappa came to life a bit

[Spirit of 66]

Hard to believe he came to us as a half.

[mightyrooster]

I like Matterson. He seems to be settling into his new role in the forwards well and he sure has bulked up in the off season. We have a lot of competition for forward spots which is fantastic.

Napa played a huge role in tonight's win, 73 minutes as a prop forward is a fair shift!

If there evr was a player that may carry the next SBW tag he might be it...now relax every one I said might...I see a lot of similarities .

Somebody commented hed run 40 plus post contact metres early on...i thought everyone went ok bar guerra, tetevano was a revelation, tupou looked quick at times, keary was great cords, jwh , friend, napa, aubo, pearce were solid, gordons goal kicking is a plus but he dont add a lot in terms of attack, but he doesnt seem lost, i thought skd did some good and bad things tbh , i didnt think watson was injected at the right time , also i thought the dogs played well at times, i know people on here hate giving credit to the opposition but they seem more attack minded this year and will challenge for the 8 i think, so yea im thrilled and somewhat relieved

[JAF]

Matto has improved out of sight since moving to the forwards - hope he continues his development and stays in our colours long term!

[stringaz]

Love me some Matterhorn, he's the everywhere man

I agree. I thought Napa was immense. Did a lot of hard work that can tend to go unnoticed. Liked the extra minutes because it allowed us to have either he or JWH on the park for the full 80 or at the least the majority thereof.

On topic - Matterson had his best game in our colours. The metres he made after contact were huge!
