Steve Matai - where is he

[The better Robbo]

Who from the current team is better than or more skilful than

B Stewart
C Hicks
S Matai
J Lyon
K Foran
DCE
G Stewart
A Whatmough
M Ballin
B Kite

There is not one current player who I would swap with these 10 Manly legends

Skill wise
Fainu has more than Ballin
Taupau has more than Kite
Saab and Tuipulotu has more than Hicks
That leaves 7 of your team out of 17 players.
Its easy to look better in a quality team. Team success brings individual form. What im saying is its not about individual skill, its about "team" harmony which our old boys had an abundance of

I really like how your give your life and body to a club, take all the hits that go with playing footy (not just on the field) and then when its all done everyone expects you to just keep on giving. Get a life.

He looks fantastic in the photo on his wife’s Facebook. What a beat-up from the tele

Allegedly..........

No offence

Any way to share that pic, Shoe1? For those of use without Facebook.

Saw that, Wheel! I meant the photo of Skivi.

I feel like I shouldn't, it is a photo of him with his wife and kids and dog, so would be an invasion of privacy

Apologise for making light .. if there is a genuine problem and not just a desire for privacy ... but .. rumours persist that he was last seen being bundled into the back of a country school bus by a woman dressed as an Alien and answering to the name of @niccipops ....

I saw that & agree - he looks to be a very happy family man.

Good on him, his response was great even though he didn't have to reply to such a rubbish article.

Makes perfect sense, Shoe. Glad he's well, regardless.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Looks pretty happy to me

They posted it up themselves , NOT an invasion of privacy at all.

I didn't SAY it WAS

Seeing as it's random capitalization day apparently.

So will or won’t those boys be Sea Eagles? ; )

I think Steve never got over the BS story that Josh Masoud did on him - phone getting taken at airport etc. This lead to media camping outside his house, his name being dragged through the mud etc.

This hurt him greatly and he hasn’t forgotten - sadly it contributed to him basically walking away for the game

And what's Massoud doing now ?? driving an ice cream truck was last reported sighting.

I wouldn't buy an ice cream from that idiot. Doesn't deserve the business.

Fox News carefully tailored reporting:
“My style of play is a testament to that ‘run hard, tackle harder, never back down’… I am a life member – whether I am still connected to the club at this present time or not."

Left out the bit about "I will always be a Manly boy for life". 😡
