I’d have let him go personally.

I didn’t like how his form was so poor for a lot of his time here but suddenly come the half way point and “contract renewal or shop window season” his form picks up. Further to that (and aside from that) I just don’t see where he fits in in 2024 with who we have and who is in front of him. I’m not going to go as far as to say ‘waste of a cap space’ nor a ‘waste of money’ but I will say we’d have better kept/spent elsewhere IMHO.

When you’re a team at the top we can’t be carrying passengers and that’s where I’d classify Mago I’m afraid.

I have thought this too, but with the Isa signing.

Personally, I can't see why the club wouldn't have looked for experienced recruits to blend with what we have.

Thats my feeling too, I can see the logic for Isa more clearly, we have 2nd rows Farrell (ageing), Walters, Nsemba (both inexperienced, Shorrocks(?) and no clear reserve to start in the first team next year - Beardsworth may kick on but later in the season.

I'm happier with the Mago extension, based on recent form, but there are a lot of props coming through, if Mago doesn't perform he will be in the reserves.

I was lucky enough to be stood next to Will at the Saints away match. He's a proper cheeky little chappy but absolutely hilarious at the same time. Had me in tears of laughter at one point. Cracking lad.

Seems like a win/win to me. Pretty low risk to the club, it's up to Mago to continue in decent form. And of course, so nicely done.
