Playing career

edit

Before joining Manly, Guberina played for the Warringah Rugby Club. He has the distinction of being the first rugby player to ever be sent to the sin bin. The sin bin was introduced at the start of the 1994 season and Mathew was sent off during Round 1 vs. Eastwood.

In round 7 of the 1995 ARL season, he made his first grade debut against North Queensland at the Willows Sports Complex. Guberina played a total of three years at Manly with each season seeing the club winning the Minor Premiership and claiming the 1996 premiership defeating St. George in the grand final.[2][3][4]
