Eels motto: Be Honest

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on September 30, 2009 at 1:07am

Be Honest. That's the motto that has taken the Parramatta Eels from Zeroes to Heroes, Feleti Mateo has told the Herald. ''When I hear the boys start shouting it, I know I want to go into another gear,'' Mateo was quoted as saying. ''Be Honest - we're telling ourselves that we have to work harder for each other. They're the words we use. It's about doing your job and being honest with your teammates. If we have to defend for a repeat set, or if one of us gets tackled over the sideline and we're under pressure, that's when it comes out again. We just keep telling ourselves be honest, be honest and everything will be all right. It's the trigger we have when we're defending our own line.''
