Sione Mata'utia always dreamed of being a one-club man.
Back in 2015, on the verge of signing a new contract with the Knights, the then-18-year-old wonder kid from Western Sydney was described by one Newcastle Herald sport scribe as about "as Newcastle as Nobbys".
Mata'utia, who is now signed with St Helens in the UK Super League, phoned in from across the pond this week to chat with Toohey's News podcast host Barry Toohey about his early career, the tough years at the Knights, and the success he has found in England.
Deep down, though, the now footballer - now in his mid-20s - is still as Newcastle as Nobbys and dreams of returning home soon, with hopes of securing a swan song season with the home club.
