Is Mateo all potential and no results

Posted by Embo on April 4, 2010 at 7:13pm

Can anyone tell me the role that mateo plays in our team?

As far as I can see he walks up to the defensive line, tries to squeeze out impossible passes to flat footed unsuspecting team mates, in beyween knock ons, drop balls, mistackles and other basic blunders

Free up the salary, keep Inu but mateo can try his luck at the Bulldogs, give me a head down arse up hard running no fear 110kg robot that won't constantly put his mates under pressure and go missing when we need a hard run out of our own 20!.

Agree
I have been a fan of Mateo's in the past but these 4 games in the opening rounds he has been poor - he is on a massive slump and is lazy but he isn't the only one!!

we need another big meter maker someone like scott logan from the raiders

Most fans agree Mateo is a truely gifted player. Recently his being bagged for playing poorly.... even being called rubbish by some fans. I blame the position his playing in at the moment. His simply has no players in support. Thats why its important to put him 5/8th and watch him get the support his type of game style requires. Then we will all see just how brilliant this player is. Mortimer/Mateo halves would rock the competition and bring control over the team with the Chosen One, Inu, etc all in supporting roles. Our team will be electric.

Let's go and sign Tom leahroyd Lars. Can play front row, back row and is one mean S.O.B on the footy paddock. Mateo should watch more tapes of him in 2008 and tell hi to have a go

if any club ceo is willing to pay $400 k for mateo they need to get urgent medical attention.

And suggesting he would be brilliant at 5/8....based on what??? his awesome pace? great kicking game? leadership behaviour??? He is lucky not to be lining up for Wenty, honestly he isn't gifted, he is lazy and lazy doesn't cut it, maybe basket ball is more his go, good luck getting anywhere near what his lasy contract cost us, istead of worrying about it, how abour earning it like Fui and hayne, DELIVER SOMETHING YOU OVER RATED SHOW PONY!!!

how can u guys say this shit about him the bulldogs and worriors are chasing him big time and are willing to pay him $120 000 more then us but he wants to stay at the club his supported all his life his only problem is his trying much harder then most of the other players... at least his trying unlike a few other forwards

Lars would be a cracker, Anderson has the right idea, he has tried to sign extra size and mongrel and I hope Poore aims up, bad luck about Shacnleton, good plan just bad luck.

I like Horo, hungry for a go, hard running big unit, probably on $80k, and Mannah is doing well too.

He is lazy, but worst than that he looks for short cuts.

Back rowers are the engine, the meter makers, Mateo looks for the cheap option ,, never hits it up with anger, rarely takes the first of 4 hit ups after we get the ball in our own 20.....next time we play watch how many times he puts his hand up to do the ugly stuff between out 10 metre line and the half way....never. He's a pretty boy who lacks mongrel and aggression.

or the "ranger" back rower at the tigers.
Embo April 4, 2010 at 8:17pm

"trying", please watch it objectively, watch his work rate when it matters, but count his errors, he is 1 diamond 5 rocks, its not that he doesn't have ability he does, but he is a back rower who lacks aggression and is ineffective in attack, if the Warriors want him ,best wishes, they don't really have an eye for talent, and let him join the dogs and we'll pick up a worker not a poser
