Especially as a Yorkshireman with zero ties to the town, happy to take the money and the publicity to put himself in the shop window for his much-longed-for return to Aus. 

He can make a wonderful contribution…but in the words of Kyle Amor ‘it matters not’. We could win every game (we won’t win 4) and still we wouldn’t qualify. 

Bateman didn't do that well and nobody will remember his stint. Did well defensively but offered almost nothing in attack. If Matterson is another Bateman (he isn't) then we don't need him. We aren't getting relegated and we aren't making the playoffs off the back of an anonymous second rower. Just look at what his own speccies say. They don't want him back next year.

Perhaps there will be quite a few of these cast offs coming over when the NRL template is in place. At least there a plenty of last chance saloons over here.

any truth in the rumours next season shirt sponsor is going to be 'on the beach'?

How fitting
