Quote: gutterfax "Nesiasi Mataitonga. 2012 Under 20's Cronulla player who played 10 games that season, who seems to have dropped down to reserve/part time grade in 2013 is our first confirmed overseas player. If this guy is on "big money" then it shows how inept the recruitment process is at the club...he is one of very many NRL U20's that don't make the grade (Rooster will back me on this) who drift into the part time/second string comps...he is not a top dollar investment! '"
I can't back up anything when it's wrong or presumption. eg. 1. who said Mataitonga will be on big money? 2. Being in the U20s, playing reserve grade is a step UP, not down as you stated. 3. He would be on his U20s contract which means he would have to either be in study or working which is an NRL policy. 4. The recruitment process of a club that wasn't 100% sure it was going to be around until a short time ago yet were still hunting round for players for months is not inept. 5. You don't know what's going on. So keep schtum and stop chucking your usual dung at the club. 6. Wait until the club tells us what's going on as it says it will, in the antipodes as it doesn't affect our lives.
FYI, I'm surprised you didn't have a go at the club because we missed out on signing a Manly prop (in yesterday's Syd Daily Tele), who decided to stay in oz because his wife's just had a baby.
