Mateo has an x-factor with his jinking runs and offloads, whilst KK provides a spark of creative energy.
Both are underrated by the people that count at the eels.
Mateo! oh Mateo! what a brilliant skillful gem of a player! such skill in a big man is a rare as........as rare as ........Jarrayd Hayne!
Some people on this forum are critical of Mateo saying he runs hot & cold, well as much as i support coach DA I see this as a failure of the coach to harness and nurture a bright spark. Sometimes players (and all adults) like Children just need that attention and recognition, they need someone to "salute" their flag, the right word at the right time and they will perform for you, they will try to please you, its called people management and it is required in all sporting teams and when you employ people.
Just like the loss of Kingston has really hurt our team this year i fear that the loss of Mateo (unless we get a Quade Cooper or Cronk) will be too big a hole to fill and we will all be very angry in 12 months time!
Mateo and Inu also to shine
