    Steve is an all time favourite player, the hits he puts on guys hurts to watch.

    His aggresion on defense almost blinds the fact on how strong he is offensively , one of the most underrated centres ever . (offensive wise)

    S. Matai was the BEST defensive centre to ever play the game , he and Jamie Lyon have been the greatest centre pairing in Manly history....IMO
