I'm not leaving Manly: Mateo
With the buzzards circling around the Sea Eagles, Feleti Mateo says it's up to him and his Manly teammates to drive away the smell of rot.
In yet another week of high drama for Manly, 14 members of the NRL playing squad have reportedly been told they are unwanted by the club next year.
With the proud club heading towards a bottom-eight finish for the first time in 10 years, more than half the playing group including senior players such as Mateo, Matt Ballin, Luke Burgess, Willie Mason and Justin Horo are expected to be shown the door.
Experienced forward Mateo said he planned to be at Manly next year and would not discuss whether he had been told to look elsewhere for season 2016.
"I have one more year left on my contract and I want to honour that," he said.
Manly are under mounting pressure in 13th spot, with coach Geoff Toovey believed to be on the chopping block and Penrith assistant Trent Barrett being sized up for his position.
He says the only answer to his critics is to prove in the final seven weeks of the season that he is giving the club value for money.
Mateo on Saturday will come up against his former club the Warriors, who he parted ways with last season with two years left on his contract.
Failing to live up to high expectations in Auckland, the 30-year-old is reportedly on big money at Brookvale as well.
He has made 195 first-grade appearances for Parramatta, the Warriors and Sea Eagles and has been linked with a move to Super League side Catalans.
Mateo said his form during his 12 appearances this year had been hindered by injuries and it was up to him to find good touch and secure his future.
"I thought I started off pretty good. I've been plagued by injuries this year - it's been really tough," he said.
"The whole club's been hit with injuries so it's been hard for myself to create combos with people and we're slowly getting people back on the park and it's about getting results."

We will win the comp then.
Not leaving means no one else will be foolish to sign the fat no hoper. Toovey and his cohorts signed him to a two year deal what a joke.
Des left us with back ended contracts and Toovey has left us with a dud forward pack mateo with another year and ballin with two more years. Great job tooves

I got the impression Tooves has little to do with the signings by his comments on NRL 360? Also seems a little strange.

Gees this story has ****ing media beat up written all over it.
I'm still yet to see the 14 players who have been tapped on the shoulder. So far we've seen 6 named.
Ballin
Burgess
Lui
Mason
Mateo
Horo
Of these, only 3 are actually contracted next year?
Who are the other 8? Safe to assume they are "lesser" names than the above.
Why any self respecting Manly fan would care if the above are cut loose (Ballin aside) is beyond me.

It's a strong 18 or 19 but we are definitely lacking a bit of depth. Clearly more players are coming.
I really want to know the 14 on the list. Are they including Foran? Surely not.
These magical 14 players on the list cannot possibly be from our top 25 contracted players, because I can see 14 current squad members in your list that aren't leaving.

What happens when we get only 5 or 6 injured players (like right now)?
Re-do your yart with the average injury toll and we are looking at some cookware

need a new 5/8 now as Lyon is also on the clean out and won't be Mateo as he is on the target list.
The '47ers
When Eagles are silent Parrots begin to chatter
Lyon is "safe", he got the backing today. However i wouldn't have Taufua in my 13, looks like he's gonna fall asleep most games
