No Steve Matai for 2017

Matai is contracted to the end of 2017.

More quality reporting from the jerker lurker.

Unfortunately we are fast approaching the time when we are not going to have Killer, Skivy or Snake in the backline somewhere.

Had to happen sooner or later.

But someone's head should roll if they all happen to be gone at the end of this year. Who dropped the ball on that one?

 

[bob dylan]

The Lurker needs to replace his "L' with a "J".

Of course Manly would let him go because we are flush with backline talent. What a goose.

Thats what I thought, Warriors offered 4 year deal in 2014 for 2015-2018, Manly offered 3 year extension from 2015-2017

Pathetic

If he is being asked to leave that is another matter rather but all you need to do is a 30 second google search to find his contract status

I would like Matai to be around the club long term after his playing career has finished. He is a top bloke and the Poly guys really look up to him (I think he's a chieftain or something, someone help me out).

 

[Eric Galt]

Brayden to the centres..............no worries

 

[Woodsie]

It saddens me. I hope he picks up a motza contract somewhere

Put him in a breeding program.

Hopefully this rumour is false. If not then I will be shattered. He has always put in 100 % week in week out, often trying to lift the team with his strong runs from dummy half and hard hits in defence. He will be missed.

First Lyon, then rumours of Snake and now Matai. Who's next? Lets hope that Barrett and Bozo have sounded out their replacements.

 

[Frogz]

I had "heard" that someone overseas had offered him some real good coin to go at end of this year. If true, Manly should let him go as a reward for his great service. He hasn't that many more money making years left in that ageing workhorse body

I am 100% certain that Bozo has being doing nothing for the past 6 months other than negotiating with their replacements.

The willingness to release Matai tells me the deal has been done.

I hope you know that any off-spring will be the property of the Sea Eagles.

Yeah, nah

 

[Shoe1]

The lurker probably meant to say that he is free to go in 2017 if he gets a good deal elsewhere, because there will be no new manly contract after 2017.

That makes more sense I think.

Yep but does not sound as sensational that way

Dig your heels in Steve. See out your contract. They wouldn't let you go when you asked to go, but now that you're happy to stay they'll let you go. Management at Manly are an intelligent lot.

Matai deserves a medical payout - a miracle that he can maintain his effectiveness with all his injuries

 

[Garts]

I would hate to lose Lyon, Matai and Stewart all at the one time. Also Matai is still playing well.
