I've not seen that much of this fella but Forums can often be a great source of what the mood is like at a club, including who's pulling up trees and who isn't. If you drift over to the Cas Forum they are not too concerned about losing Mata' utia and the general vibe is head is elsewhere and not a great loss.
Well presumably he's Powell's pick...........
He's stated himself on twitter he had a bad game.
RE matau'tia himself Cas signed him mid-season from leigh 2018 when degsy started clearing the decks and books in league one, they signed him as A he was available and was chucked in as one of the many bodge jobs to fill the fullback roll that year after hardaker's ban, ben roberts being injured, and greg eden being crap (oh, and Gary Io's mysterious disappearance that we're not allowed to talk about). I believe his form had been average for leigh in the championship and he had copped a big ban as well in the challenge cup
At some point he's moved forward and covered at stand off, and centre, and settled at centre.
As I've mentioned before, the usual suspects on here would kick off about him if we did that signing.(also he was 27 i think at the time of signing for cas).
why?
cos they kicked off when we signed bryson goodwin, from leigh, in the championship (admittedly before their season started) who was a past it nrl player who had signed for a promotion team, people weren't happy about it, even though he was pretty good for his two years.
Also, the usual suspects kicked off about us signing bodene thompson, from leigh, in the same circumstances as m'tautia, he did ok as a fill in as currie was injured, and livett was out of favour
