If Boyd was to retire ....

[mightyrooster]

Not sure I'd risk him again given his player manager antics. He doesn't seem to fit into the team culture the Roosters and Robbo have going. Handy player though.

[Kelby]

If very cheap....... but no.
Boyd = Angus / Stilli
Friend = Sam and Freddie


I think replacing the Morris Brothers is our bigger issue next year.
Staggs would be my buy. Centre, young and a goal kicker!

Suaalii = wing
Staggs = Centre

Nah. Angus/Sitili are the future.

If Boyd does retire I'd use a portion of the money to find a quality prop in his early to mid 20s. Maybe a scary one from over in England.

Ive only ever heard of one scary english player and his name was...

MOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRLEEEEEEEEEY!

I agree Bunny and Angus are better value. Matterson is too mercenary.

[King Salvo]

He has a player option for 2022 - I heard the Dogs are after him -3 year deal supposedly close to 2 mill. No sure for player options if a player/manager can negotiate before the usual Nov 1 period - In this case Nov 1 2021.

Plays a similar role to Cordner though

if we get our 350k relief for cordner approved we could do worse than re-signing matto for this year alone

[Mickie Lane]

No thanks, he's not hard enough.

[The Skeez]

Replace one player from head knocks with another sufferer

[Grant Hedger]

Matterson is one of the worst players (let alone second rowers) going around. Lazy, ineffective and mostly a passenger.

No where near as tough as Cords mate. You won’t see him take a hit up from his own end. Might be more skillful than Boyd but Boyd is so much tougher.

We can take that “has been” taumololo of paytens hands for Boyd’s money.

Taumalolo is on 1 mill year -signed a 10 million 10 year contract -starter in 2018 and expires in 2027 - be 28 this year -- I have doubts he will finish that contract. - Cows have 2 players on Million dollar contracts -Holmes the others.

[John Corey]

With Chris Orr as his manager it's no wonder he carries on like this.

If Boyd retired I would have thrown a heap of $$ at the Broncos kid that just re signed with them. Jordan Reicke. Gonna be a gun. And he's got mongrel in him.

[DP1990]

As has been stated, the way Matto has gone about his business since leaving us is quite distasteful.

A shame, as if it were based purely on ability i'd have no qualms at all. Just think Robbo wont have a bar of that kind of ego.

Still not totally sold on Sitili. For me, he is bench impact.

Starting second row with no cords is......Gus - Radley - ?

There will be a new face no doubt

Gus - Radley - Tupouniua

Bench rotation for second row:

Adam Keighran = Lock (Utility - when recovered)
Butcher = 11
Liu = 12

[DP1990]

Yeah nah ... no to Matto

Just too much contract and management drama with him. Not as bad as Latrell but he's up there in top 5 low-key player contract issues for flops !
