Fantastic news!

And taken a pay cut to join us early! Seems like he wants to be here and make an impact

Makes sense all round. Means he can get here in “summer” and start to acclimatise, can settle the family, can play without pressure, for us he can be here for the start of preseason already well embedded in the side- and we get a timely boost!

keen to get here which is a good sign and taken a pay cut to do so

with losing lawrence to a bad injury its a boost for us

whens ikahihifo back... should be soon now

According to Andrew Voss, he's very much a crowd pleaser: 'If I was ever called upon to jot down a list of players that I wanted to run and knock down a brick wall, Matagi would be in my top five.'

I understand that his Youtube highlights reel is a few years old but, if he comes over and runs like that week in week out, I think Voss will be bang on the money and we should have the making of a pretty formidable pack - looking forward to seeing him play.

dont expect too much from him straight away

be better to judge after a full pre season

but the prospect off matagi, taai and ikahihifo makes us have some long needed grunt back at the giants

Well hes here! No doubt will take a while for him to find his feet- but looking forward to see him play. I’m going to miss a large chunk of the super8s unfortunately- so any comments on how he’s going would be appreciated !

plays friday at saints, be good to see him in action

Be even quieter than usual - many are at the wedding Of the year!

How did Matagi go last night?

Dropped the ball running in.

Did a stupid pass then gave away a pen for offside.

Didnt do many minutes.

Early days

Indeed early days- could still be jet lagged

Needs to improve a lot then

yes he knocked on once and did a silly pass

but you can see what type of player he is, plays the game tough , going to really enjoy watching him play

especially when he has taai and ikahihifo with him.... those three will take some handling next season!!

reminds me of faiumu in looks and reminds me of rapira in how he gets his head down and just runs hard!

Just looks then not the sidestep?

Crikey just off a plane from Oz and two training sessions give him chance.....

Had Seb/Lawrence been fit we wouldn’t have seen him until Hull or Wakey the dropped ball was just a silly error because he was trying to trample the tackler which bodes well for me....

ha no sidestep with this guy just hard running straight!

im being positive about him, its the poster further up that wasnt. liked what i saw.
