Can anyone remember which player signed for another club few years ago then asked if he could stay with us? It was granted by the other club could stay with us out of generosity. Maybe Mamo could ask Radford if he could stay with his friendy. The fans want me at Wire

Not true, his pace off the mark gives opposition defences the s, I mentioned this around the time of the Hull game, he fashions breaks and gaps that aren't there, and arguably we're still not putting on any plays for him and he's still becoming an x factor threat to the opposition.

He's also weirdly good in defence in terms of tracking back and smashing people.

He really is one of those great squad players, a talisman, if you will. (Just keep.him away from wing or fullback)

We're replacing him with a less effective player, but one that Powell thinks he can rely on.

Didnt a few people question the signing of Matautia. He can be good. But from what I read. He can have 1 or 2 good games. But then go missing for 4 or 5. I agree wrench was absolutely fantastic last night. And we look good in the centre department for the future. I feel we are going to need s balanced rotational squad. With mamo we have that player who can fit in over the wing centre or full back. It's good to have that in a starting lineup for interchangeability backup if someone gets injured where we can reshuffle. Sure. We have that with Matautia. But He could be linehams replacement which in theory. Could allow mamo to stay if he and the club wants to.

I think the idea of signing Mata’utia is that he can cover full back, half back and centre equally well. Jack of all trades, master of none. Powell obviously likes the options it gives us.

So can Mamo to be fair. He can cover centre, fullback and wing.

I don't disagree that Mamo brings something different than what will Matautia will fetch, but I don't believe one is significantly any better or worse that it will make a huge difference to results. It's more that it may influence & be an indicator to the type of RL that Powell wants to play - reliability over unpredictable individual flair?

How have you come to that conclusion unless you watch cas regular...the bit I've seen of matautia.hes not a patch on mamo...

Matautia is more a strong runner and generally speaking strong defender. He isn't gunna snaffle an interception and storm 90 yards. He's a more consistent performer at centre than FB or half back. I'd worry about mamo defensively as a centre. Bags of pace but a little small maybe? I think Matautia is a better centre but maybe Mamo a better squad player

With regards to your thoughts that Mamo is fast but small for a centre, the same could be said for Gildart and Percival and they are both international players.

All down to opinion I know but if the rumours are true you ve got mamo...just hope it's all BS and mamo stays here at wire along with matautia..

Wasn't he Man Of The Match in quite a high standard game just last week?

You'd think whoever had signed him would want to ride on the back of that performance and release the news this week after the performance last night.

I'd love Mamo to stay and be fighting for a spot in the 17 each week, but i'd guess he'd want some certainty of a regular spot and his form over the past 6 weeks may have come too late, we also have to think whether having Mata'utia & Mamo in the squad will hold back players such as Wrench from furthering his development. After a tough first outing this year, Wrench was solid vs Leigh and really good last night, hopefully we can see more of him.

My concern of Mamo to Cas would be the incoming Cas coach, I get the impression he'd crush that enthusiasm out of him.

Totally agree with you.

Mamo is fast and is a wholehearted competitor which is why he is popular with fans, but he's not a consistent top drawer player and he has holes in his game too so if an incoming coach wants to change things it's not the end of the world.

As often happens on here when we have a few good results, certain players start getting overhyped: this week it's Lineham and Mamo, we go through phases where people rave about Ratchford, Hughes and Philbin too. What you have to remember with all these guys is, they were all there in the team when we were on those bad runs and people were calling out Price for just picking his favourites week in, week out and not giving younger players a shot or mixing the team up. What did all these fan favourites do in those games where things were not going our way, to turn things around?

The big problems Wire have had through the Price era are a lack of leaders and a lot of players who can look hot when the team in general is playing well but then disappear into anonymity when the team isn't so there is nobody there to turn around bad situations. The squad needs a shake up and is likely to get one with Powell, it will involve losing some fan favourites, just like happened at Leeds and Cas.

So that it based on that...have you not watched mamo this season...again down to opinions.but I'd be more than happy if mamo stays...
