    To this day I'm still so crushed they fumbled the ball on his contract and let him go before his time was up. The man could read the field as if it was in slow motion! I still cant understand why he wasn't in more origins/ rep games. The thing that disappoints me most of all is that the man only played for the one club in his entire NRL career and they let him go just before the 2015 Grand final victory. He deserved to be there in that team more than anyone! Sorry for the rant, apparently this great video stirred up a few emotions haha. He will always be the greatest fullback in my eyes, Love ya Bowen!

      As a Cowboys fan I agree, Matty should've been there for the 2015 GF and we shouldn't have let him go!! Gets me worked up too

    I was 6 years old when Matt Bowen made his debut was 7 when I first took notice of him, by age 9 I was mimicking his play style and every second word that was coming out of my mouth was Matt Bowen this Matt Bowen that he made me love the game of rugby league he made me love sports and he made me a NQL and QLD supporter through and through even got a picture with him when i was playing for caloundra u/11's. They said no signatures or anything but Matty begged the coaching staff I remember it all like it was yesterday and still to this day I love Matty Bowen and always will cherish the times I watched him play from the bottom of my heart I cannot thank this man enough for all he has done for the rugby league community!

  • @tillyg1541
    @tillyg1541 Před 4 lety +36

    He is the most down to earth most humble man you will ever meet. He is doing great things in our community and he’s is a stand up guy who is very approachable (unlike other footy players in town *cough cough *) and definitely one of the best

  • @andrewjohnson7308
    @andrewjohnson7308 Před 5 lety +35

    Commentators keep saying how good is he....? Well I think they know that he's probably one of the best players they've ever seen! Definitely the most exciting!!

  • @te_ure_nui
    @te_ure_nui Před 4 lety +19

    This guy to many people was the most exciting player to ever play league hands down, he should’ve been Australian fullback, he outclassed outscored Slater for 3 years, he is the Christian Cullen of league GOAT

    • @simby787
      @simby787 Před 4 lety +1

      he played in the australian team vs usa in 2005 sought of a spectulation match to promote the sport and ripped it up

  • @dreamtimeemotionalwarrior7057

    Still the GOAT in my books and the most incredible player to ever wear the Cowboys Jersey.

  • @tristmas6458
    @tristmas6458 Před 4 lety +21

    I played against Matty B in local league when he was 17. We knew he was something else. Matty was like a light to many. He just Brightened up your week for so many years. How many players can we really say we're that electric? Only a handful. But Matty Bowen at his Best was the G.O.A.T. He could have played for Australia/ Qld many times if it wasn't for Slater's consistency. Matty was a super freak. He embarrassed the best of players. He was the man. And a gentleman as well. If someone can find the footage he scored against the Broncos. Where he beat like 8 players to score. Just unbelievable

    • @simby787
      @simby787 Před 4 lety +3

      2007 was his peak year yet theres no where to find highlights from that year..a definite unsung hero of the time would be worth a million in these days.. peter parr was the fuckwitt to cut him off in 2013 when his ball playing was at a premium, then he went bowen mode in the super league for a year then retired

    • @DinkyDiTruBlu

  • @tomback3238
    @tomback3238 Před 5 lety +69

    Matty bowen was an insanely underrated player and it shows with this video somehow only getting 5000 views so far. People talk of Andrew Johns’ legacy and Billy Slaters’ legacy but i think he was a better player than both. No one could do what he was doing and he has all aspects of his game covered. Its a shame that he doesnt get more recognition cause he was insanely good at footy.

    • @simby787
      @simby787 Před 5 lety +5

      also he was a killer ball player later on

    • @michaelperkins399
      @michaelperkins399 Před 4 lety +4

      Ball in hand, he was better than Slater, even if he wasn't the best defensive fullback.

    • @hmmahlahbahhhhhhhhhhhh2123
      @hmmahlahbahhhhhhhhhhhh2123 Před 3 lety +8

      I'd take prime bowen over Billy

    • @bensonmaso4842
      @bensonmaso4842 Před 3 lety +3

      i recon he is better than slater...for all I care..so sad that he had hang his boots early...

    • @HG-sl2ur
      @HG-sl2ur Před 2 lety

      I mean a lot of the tries in this video are the same and I don’t think there was anything in this video that I hadn’t seen slater do, slater scored more and had better defence, rarely ever had an off game too. Bowen great player though but not as good as Billy the kid, Hayne or the snake

  • @deruje6289
    @deruje6289 Před 3 lety +9

  • @sambarnes3276
    @sambarnes3276 Před 4 lety +20

    As a broncos fan Matty broke my heart on many occasions but he’s still one of my favorite players of all time. He made me want to watch cowboys games as much as I could

  • @WelcomeToLumbridge
    @WelcomeToLumbridge Před rokem +2

    A legend of my childhood, everyone playing 1st grade footy and he's out there playing backyard footy running rings around them. One of my little brothers was named after him, hope he reads this oneday.

  • @andymehrts6071
    @andymehrts6071 Před 3 lety +18

    I knew he was a great player, but I didn't expect his highlight reel to be this outrageous. What an amazing player. There were some great fullbacks in his generation, but this guy has to be right near the very top of that list.

    • @pcppbadminton
      @pcppbadminton Před 3 lety +1

      Probably second to Billy Slater for most people as the best in the last 20 years, though he did everything Slater could do 3-4 years before Slater did it. And he did it in a far less dominant team. Bowen is at the same time highly regarded and still underrated IMO, he never got mentioned as much as he deserved.

    • @jimihendrixx11
      @jimihendrixx11 Před 2 měsíci

  • @steviev1422
    @steviev1422 Před 3 lety +10

    Well what more would anyone want?
    He should have played for Australia.
    Absolute game changer.
    None could stop him.
    Some these days have the similar energy enthusiasm and never give up attitude, but they don't have his speed and big step off both sides, and the faith in knowing that he is going to score.
    Miss you Mango :)
