Unleash this BEAST in his born to play role.

Only Mateo and The Chosen One have shown any real attack/threat to opposition sides.

Mateo "found" himself in the clear to set up Burt's try. Other than that he didn't really do a great deal. His lack of desire to chase the line break which resulted in the Joel Thompson try was very ordinary.

Amazing. He did all this while playing in "LOCK" position? Imagine what he will do when in 5/8th.

Mateo has shown absolutely nothing all year...why do people think this will suddenly change under the added pressure of the halves? He's been missing under any slight pressure all year, I shudder to think how he'd play in the halves. Either bench him as the impact player he is, or put him to Wenty to learn how to play footy again because he seems to have forgotten

It's funny how all you people criticise Mateo and then when he does something brilliant like he can you's will support him again. I honestly hope he leaves Parramatta and goes to a side that will treat him the right way and I hope he comes back to Parra one day and tears us apart just to prove to you people and DA that he really is a talent.

Really disappointing IMO.

stick to what you know best :music2:...

because as talenetd as mateo is, if you're happy with his current form than you're either a close friend of grapeapes or your seeing the game differently to the rest of usd..

or better still just stick to this..:music2:...

Trouble is his really brilliant touches are few and far between and he mostly is ordinary. I bet he would agree with that summation.

So do you think we should play him a State of Origin level of contract ? That's what you'll need to pay to keep him.

From what I can see I'd rather have Shack & upgrade Horo for that coin. Then go and buy a young gun backrower. One of those who ran out for the raiders last night would do me. Three player for the price of what the Warriors want to pay Mateo...

No I'm not happy with the way his playing and I'm seeing the game the same as you people but what upset's me is the amount of sh*t he cops when there's so many other player's who are playing just as bad.

No need to be a smartass either.

what a stupid suggestion. Mateo either plays lock and wakes up to himself or goes back to wenty.

The problem is not the fact he is playing bad it's more his attitude is not right.

Look at Mortimer he is another player that has not done anything but at then end of the day he is trying his guts out, this is probably the reason he escapes criticism.

Now I can see why Todd Lowrie kept him out of the starting squad when he came back last year.

The Chosen One is our best player followed by Mateo. Whats our second best player doing in Lock? He gets limited ball and has no support in that position. The position simply does not play well into his unlimited skill.

Nrl teams must be laughing silently to themselves knowing a player like Mateo stuck in lock. No wonder clubs are paying huge money to get him. Clubs are not offering huge money for him to play in lock thats for sure.

You got experts and critics such as Sterlo, etc calling for him to play 5/8th and clubs wanting him just for that position. It amazes me a coach like Ando won't put him there. I guess they have personnel issues between them. Theres no other explanation.

Another player like Krisnan Inu only plays when someone is injured. Another huge talent wasted. Yet players like MK or Robson play every week.

Everyone has opinions and should be respected. But the fact is some of our players are not in the proper positions thus affecting our ability to play as a premiereship winning team.

Grow up, honestly. Mateo deserves every ounce that's ben thrown at him and if you can't see that then you need your eyes checked. The fact that he's as talented as all hell is the reason he's being criticised so heavily...because at the moment he's to damn lazy to bother showing us what he can do. What's disappointing is a so called fan wishing a player leaves the club he supposedly supports and then tears that club apart one day...some fan you are.

Mateo can go get the ball whenever the f**k he wants it you idiot....he isn't. Why is that? Could it be that he's a lazy bastard?

Grow up cause I have an opinion? Ok.

And some fan I am, Many of my family who follow and have loved Parramatta for years are saying the same. Why should we have if we don't treat him right, It's obvious he and DA don't get along or something along those lines.

I'd like to see you people in a players position knowing he has talent but is constantly criticised by fans and maybe the coach for all we know. It's not easy and Yeh I'm probably a bigger fan then you are, Just because I'd want him to tear us apart is to show and prove to the club and coaching staff how good he is. I'm entitled to my opinion and your entitled to yours. So maybe you should grow up.
