7. Matt Allinson


Last week Tom Lindsay nominated Matt to be the next one in the locker room answering a few questions, so here's his answers! Quite a few should give you a good laugh.

First, a few questions regarding his teammates...

1. Which teammate is most likely to go viral and what would it be for? – “Dave Preston. When he finally snaps and has his breakdown. It’s being coming for years. I think the new crop of Penrith youngsters could finally be the ones to tip him over the edge.”

2. Who is most likely to win the lottery? – “Lee Chapman. Never seeing anything like him for winning card games on the bus and dropping the bandit in service stations. Rumour has it he payed for a flight to New Zealand off the winnings from one game on the bus.”

3. Who is the most skilled player? – “Nobody comes close to Will Morgan. Unbelievable talented player. A real fly half trapped in a front row's body.”

4. If you could be another teammate for a week, who would it be and why? –
“George Graham. Just to see if being Scottish is as bad as I think it would be.”

5. What is your funniest memory of a teammate? – “So many funny stories at Penrith. Daniel James Trafford Morgan was usually involved most of the time. Dan poured orange drainage dye in John Dent's boots. Every training for 6 weeks John's feet turned orange and he couldn’t work out why. Thought he had a medical condition brought on by rugby until he realised there was dye in his boots!”

6. Who is most likely to max out a credit card? –
“Tom Lindsay. He’s addicted to eBay. Spends all his money on midget memorabilia. Will bankrupt himself.”

7. Who is most likely to get recognised by the Guinness World Record? – “Jay Rossi. The most consecutive games without making a tackle.”

And a few quick fire questions…

8. What’s your lockdown Netflix recommendation for everyone? – “Half ton son. Just nice to keep an eye on Adam Howe and how he’s coming along with his goals.”

9. What do you eat for breakfast on a game day? – “Coffee and a bacon sandwich and always a boost duo at some point.”

10. What is a family tradition that you have? –
“Get your retaliation in first.”

11. What is your favourite place you’ve visited? – “Kirkby Stephen. I don’t like to go far if it can be helped.”

12. Who would you want to play you a film about your life? – “Dolph Lundgren. Just for similar physical appearance.”

13. What’s your party trick? – “Listening. I’m very considerate. Especially when I helped Jay with... ***** (I'm afraid we've had to blank out this part of Matt's answers to keep it respectful, we'll let you use your imagination for this part...).

14. If you had to eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what meal would that be? – “Sunday carvery at the bridge inn, Stapleton. Unbelievable!”
