Wests Tigers

Ryan Matterson

The Wests Tigers have done well in their recruiting and re-sigings for 2019, but adding Ryan Matterson to their squad could be the most important signing of all.

Matterson joins the Tigers on a three-year deal which sees him there until the end of 2021. The predominant second-rower had 22 appearances for the Roosters in 2018, which saw him score five tries and have three line breaks. He made 14 offloads with 711 tackles made, while making a total of 1804 running metres.

The versatile 23-year-old is a premiership winner with the Sydney Roosters and can play in the positions of second-row, five-eighth or as an impact player of the bench.

Having a player in your squad who isn't a one-trick pony will be quite valuable for the Tigers, as Matterson's game play will keep out teams on their toes.
