So, which one of the players on that ad is going to inherit the curse, fuck up bigtime and have the ad chopped or have themselves cut out of it!??

Update: Steve Matai has been found

'People know that I choose to live my life the way I want to and I have no concerns about how other people think I should live my life or who I should be in contact with,' Matai said.

'Yes I am a very private person – I don't have social media and it is factual that I am not a fan of the cameras and limelight.

'All I wanted to do was play footy. I gave everything I had when I crossed that white chalk – mind and body.

My style of play is a testament to that ''run hard, tackle harder, never back down''… I am a life member – whether I am still connected to the club at this present time or not.

'Please respect my privacy and the way I want to live my life. I am living happily and enjoying life in our community with my beautiful wife and children.

'Accept this and move on.'
