Quote: sally cinnamon "Yes Mamo does add something different to guys like Charnley, Ratchford, King and Lineham because of his pace so it does take away a dimension from our attack, which Mata'utia doesn't bring.
But I think easywire's point above is relevant, would he be a starter at Wigan or Saints. I feel like Mamo is one of those players who brings some great attributes but has flaws and in big games he could be got at by top teams, more so than Mata'utia.
Will be interesting to see how he is received by Wire fans when he plays for Cas. I expect rather than getting the usual "whats the score" chant he will get applauded by Wire fans like Toa when he went to Hull, which is respect that is given to few players.'"
If you dig out my posts from when we signed him, I was the biggest anti mamo person on the planet, and ill maintain that, wing or fullback, I still shudder at the thought of him under a bomb.
At centre, both last year and this, with a run of games he has been very good, equally in defence.
I cant think of any thing where I could point the finger squarely at him.
I know we had the Huddersfield debacle, but yhat was in a period where that whole right side of defence was off, charnley was getting pelters for stuff that wasn't his fault, just that they were running past him as the last man.
All that being said, would I give him 3 years? Probably not in the current climate, and it's a ballsy move by cas to do so, when the bigger clubs are handing out 12 month extensions where they can get away with it.
I will echo something else said elsewhere, had mamo not got his hattrick, we'd all be talking a lot more about wrench this weekend,
