matt_wire:What's infuriating is that, I seem to recall we signed Brad Dwyer and moved him on immediately? Or it was rumoured we were signing him and then didn't? For all his foibles, at least when he gets on the pitch he brings energy and actually makes yards. God. When Dwyer was with us (Leeds) he certainly brought energy, and caused mayhem against a tiring opposition pack. The problem was that, more often than not, that mayhem also extended to the rest of the Leeds team. Unpredictable, most certainly off the cuff, and he did have some go forward in him. Great when you're on top, backing up and bossing games. Unfortunately for us, for most of the time we weren't. I liked the enthusiasm Dwyer brought, unfortunately for all concerned it was just the wrong time for all parties. |

On loan until end of the season, which is in September. So, in other words he ain't good enough for his own team. Great.
There are plenty of precedents of this working; not least when we've signed Wardle and Bateman previously. Who knows what will happen here but I don't think this tenure automatically makes it a bad idea. Anyone coming over from Australia at 30 years old, with 8 games left of the season because they can't get in their own team abd specialises in a position we don't need help in is a terrible move. |

Just as an aside, as Just Browny said, John Bateman was 30, joined in late July 2024 with 8 league games remaining, and couldn't get in the West Tigers side. He made a positive contribution. |

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.
