How should Mateo be used?

Parra fans will hold dear memories of the likes of David Solomona and Dean Widders coming off the bench and creating havoc. I'm wondering if Feleti will be used in this role for the rest of the year. No doubt he can start but I'm wondering given that we have so much attacking abilities if it might be a good idea for a while at least to just keep him in that interchange role to give us a bit of variety during the match? What do people think?

    Mateo provides attacking flair at any time, and can play almost 80 minutes in most cases. He is fine as a starter.
    • Think Joe needs to come off the bench. He was awesome tonight - he's got the experience to come off the bench and inject himself straight into the game and if he starts who plays that prop role.
      • Yeah, maybe Smith in at #12 running a little wide. As long as we stop throwing him bullet face balls.
  • Seems he will have to earn his starting spot, or wait for an injury, DA has shown great loyalty to the winning formula. One thing is for sure DA is toughening up our underbelly which has been soft for a while now.
  • dunno. its hard to say. mateo should start i think. but i think should lowrie start or be cut from the team. because i dont think he is a bench option
  • To me he seem's under done, 5kg over and a little slow... BUT I can understand why 14 weeks out is a long time.

    For now, for me off the bench and work his way in.

    Feleti, Yes we need him in a big way. I just think it takes time..
  • i think feleti will have a big role for us and be crucial if we are a chance of winning the GF

    Lowrie and Galuvao to bench.

  • Prefer other way around simply because Lowrie doesn't really offer much in attack as opposed to Mateo.
