It'll be back.

I think Bellamy may turn him into a centre. He's too good a player to be sitting on the wing. In a couple years he'll be Matt King like. Bellyache also likes his tall centres (King, Folau, Inglis)

I agree.

Maybe (just maybe) go for more money when you have no 1st team spot...or any chance of getting a 1st team spot ...or when you're not appreciated by the coach..or the other players...or the fans.

NONE of these things apply to Matt.

I have seen many people leave organisations for more money over the years...and rarely have they been more happy or even equally happy in the new organisation.

Just stay Matt...you won't regret it.

If he goes he goes. I used to love this kid with his exciting play and the things he said about Storm in Interviews. The fact that he has visited Paramatta and talked about them in articles when he has only played about 14 games or so is ridiculous. My love for him has definately been tainted forever whether he stays or not.

STILL on Monday night's AAMI Park clash, we were interested to hear how Storm winger Matt Duffie prepared for his two-try performance.
Our spies out west spotted Duffie checking out Parramatta Stadium with Eels coach Stephen Kearney the weekend before the game.
We have since heard Duffie is now odds-on to be wearing blue and gold next year.

Surely we can keep Duffie if we lose Blair?

If this is true, I won't be asking for his autograph.

And I would be blooding someone else in his position, if its confirmed.
