if hes a hit for two seasons with us i will be happy, cant blame him for wanting to return home to the top comp once hes proved himself here!

contract up same time as stones and wakemans, they may all go at same time!

hope he likes the huddersfield scenery!

one thing is for certain, he will miss the start of the season so who plays full back for us? i think mcintosh will get a run, or gaskell..simpson?

I hope he doesn't get 'Grixed' after one or two early inconsistent performances. First impressions and all that.

oh dont worry the grixers will be ready and waiting, some i think will even want mamo to fail just to prove a point

Just hope he isn't rubbish when he arrived like that Brett Hodgson bloke, took him months to be any good....

That Michael de vere was never any good tsk

I'm betting Gaskell or Brierly will be next year's scapegoat

What sort of point would that prove ?

Could be a great signing,saying yeah he got it to prove,just hoping in doing that they would go away, but really very happy with Jake,a FB who will at the very least will put a few tackles in.

Well playing for knights he will have had to tackle more than other fullbacks. He had to make 70 tackles in the 13 games he played .....but he did miss almost 1 tackle for every 2 he made last season. He missed 30. Of course those numbers don't tell the whole story. If a fullback is good at positioning himself he gets more opportunities to make tackles- if he's bad at it he doesn't get close so he doesnt accrue a "missed tackle" I reckon Connor got away with a few of those!
Thing is your fullback should rarely need to make a tackle if everyone else does their job! I'm more interested in whether he can create chances than make tackles- will have to wait and see.

Who do we think will fill in at full back for the early games ?

If what I was told was true Darnell will be starting at FB if he goes well in the preseason games which means there will only be one change when Mamo is fit.

If Gaskell were to drop to FB and then when Mamo returned moved to the centres there is too much chopping and changing - although if there is an injury to Brough or Brierley he will be first in line to cover the halves.

yes it sounds like it could be mcintosh to play full back

the pre season games will be interesting to see who they go with and who takes the no 1 shirt

Guess that means Simpson will be gone next year if he's being overlooked for a more junior player.

He's not been 'overlooked' as such, he's been injured and has been in rehabilitation, if he recovers well he still has a future here but his development has been harmed by his injury.

Would imagine Darnell would get it to start with, if not then Gaskell to FB with Darnell at wing.
