He is definitely down on form
But the thing is, imo he is 1 of the crucial parts of us going anywhere in the finals. If he gets it right, he makes crucial metres out of dummy half, and his hit ups off our line are invaluable as well. He is not getting a lot of good ball at the moment either. Rightly so, Watmough is getting the good clean ball, and often all that is left for Matai when he gets it is 5-10m to move and no where to go. We need to utilise that step he possesses a lot more
He is our power centre, but lacking the aggression a bit at the moment which is a worry. Most want him to stay in the line, but I feel he needs to run out and fire a big shot off to get the fire back in him, a shot like that also lifts all the other guys as well
