Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2927042, member: 8215"] There were [I]three[/I] Mata'utia brothers actually. IIRC they were all signed by Canterbury on massive deals, with their manager knowing it'd force the Knights to offer them big money to stay (this was when the same rules were in place that allowed DCE's famous backflip). They were pegged for big things, in fact one played for Australia in their debut season. They had Mamo, Tapine & Levi who were in the 2014 U20's team of the year alongside Sione Mata'utia. Mantellato was looking like being a star. Clydesdale, Korbin Sims, Kyle O'Donnell, Robbie Rochow, again all slated for big things, all debuting during his time. Fitzgibbon & Ross debuted in 2015, after he left, but they too were training with the NRL squad while Bennett was there. It's for this exact reason that players like Gower, as you mentioned, were signed. To act as mentors and old heads while the rookies find their way in first grade. [/QUOTE]
