Good player! Congratulations Ryan !
Great stuff Ryan Matterson, Hopefully one day the Roosters can have your services again. Thanks for helping the Roosters to a premiership and with a bit of bad luck for some other player it just might be good luck for you to crack that Blues jumper.
Watch this comedy link of Ryan after last season Grand Final…….💪🐔👍
