Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei whārangi - I muri i tētahi atu wā whara-wharawhara, i taea e Mata'utia te hoki mai ki te taha o te Knights' NRL i te rauna 18 o te tau 2017
, ka haere ki te tākaro i ngā tukinga NRL e whā mō te tau, ā, e rua ngā whakamātautau. I te 23 o Whiringa-a-rangi, i panuitia ka reti ia mai i te taumata ngaio o te keemu ka uru atu ki te Newcastle Rugby League o te rohe, i muri i tana whakaaetanga ki te tuku i te tau whakamutunga o te kirimana Knights. I kii a Mata'utia i muri i tana tukunga "He tino pai te karapu ki ahau, ka mihi ahau ki te katoa, engari ko te wa tika tenei kia wehe atu ahau i te keemu i tenei taumata".
