And so I, my, my personal opinion, not what the reality of the situation's gonna be is, I think he needs a full clean year of no pressure of, of what, you know, going forward.
Rugby League GuruHOST
'Cause I, I believe that this will probably be the first year that they won't be dealing with... 'Cause, like, Ryan Matterson's contract is done.
Rugby League GuruHOST
Like, I think this will be the first year where he's got a clear run on the cup to, to do what he needs to do.
MattyPANELIST
Yep.
John OlsenHOST
That's the other part of the conversation is, will Spencer Leni be a starter for the Eels, or will he be one of the primary middle forwards but from the bench? We've spoken about this in the past, Craig, that being on the bench doesn't mean you're not a primary player in the pack.
John OlsenHOST
Ryan Matterson, prior to all the stuff that happened in the last, uh, couple of seasons, under Brad Arthur in his prime years, was our primary lock forward but started 20 minutes into the game to play 60 minutes later nonstop from lock forward, and it worked really well.
CraigHOST
Yeah.
John OlsenHOST
So you can absolutely be a, a primary contributor without starting.
