I'm wondering why Mateo wasn't given more of a chance to be a roving forward. He was still a good player and could play 5/8. In saying that, though, I am not well informed enough to comment on whether his form in Reggies was worthy of being selected.
Mateo played 3 games in the top grade this year, but mostly was persona non-grata as far as the NRL side was concerned. It was mostly punishment for not leaving when 'tapped on the shoulder' at the end of 2015.
Otherwise, from what I can tell Feleti basically just went through the motions in NSW Cup and rarely looked like he was pushing for a spot in first grade. Whether that was because he realised he had no chance I don't know, but considering others were getting selected ahead of him (a-la the Wolfman in 2014) and that he was released to join Salford well before the season ended, it wouldn't surprise me.
