For me, if Mamo is worth £150k to Giants then good luck to them.
On his form when he first arrived I'd say he was probably worth it.

On the subject of importing Aussies, surely Ben Jeffries, Korki, JD all come into the not good enough for NRL category but did an amazing job for us. It's a case by case for me. If a young kid is good enough then you don't recruit an Aussie to replace him. But as said, the issue is generating the young talents, not whether someone is taking their job.

All about opinions, and the coach is the one who generally sets the price he is prepared to pay.
Remember the NRL reserve grader some thought not good enough for us in SL last year, picked to start this week for Canberra and getting rave reviews on NRL360 this morning, apparently has a great kicking game. Opinions.

Williams could not make our starting team over a 35 year old slower than me halfback! now he is a starting halfback in the NRL go figure - in round 1 mind you so he isn't in there because of injures.

I would say that you have assassinated his character, by saying he's a 'mercenary' and 'not an Aussie looking for a second chance'.
I'm sure you wouldn't like your character brought into question by a complete stranger?
Your first post never mentioned money, you only started mentioning it when jakey95 quoted a figure, which you now have knocked 20k off! (allegedly)
Whatever Shudds are paying him is their business and if they saw fit to release Grix, that's their loss and our gain. Grix wasn't the only player to fall foul of Stone, Ferguson was almost out of the door but a strong WC got him back on board.
Mamo is 23, was recovering from a serious ankle injury when he came over, which probably hastened his exit from Newcastle, as you pointed out, they were the wooden spoonists last season and probably couldn't take a gamble on him being injured again, so he comes to Enlgand looking for that 'second chance'.
In his 29 games he scored 11 tries, that's not a bad return for a player in the worse NRL team.
As for competing at International level with 'these sorts of imports', fullback isn't a problem.
The one thing that you do have right, is that I'm not particularly bothered about Mamo but like bren said, he was good last season, not this season.(so far).
I'm sorry if I have hurt that over inflated ego of yours but if you give it, you've got to take it.

It's you who's having the hissy fit mixed with an over inflated ego mate not me, I'm just bemused as to how pathetic you're being.

Anyway let's hope you're finished because you've made yourself look foolish and boring. Now go have a rest.

anyway, just laughing at broughy on the VT, proper saw his 4rs3 with that last MCB score........didn't see that at the time.
a stark contrast to a few minutes earlier when he'd ripped the ball out of Grix and got a knock on from the ref.
laughing in grixy's face he was, didn't see that neither.
Scott didn't bat a eyelid, I guess he knew the game was up for Shudds anyway and, I dunno....maybe they are actually friends....to a point, professional response from Scott anyway.
I dunno who will take broughy when his contract is up, the guy is quite brilliant at times but such an utter p***k at others, sprinkle that with grubby indiscipline and dressingroom upset, you gotta know wherever he ends up he's not gonna be worth the aggravation.

Saw the kook on Broughs face at the steal from Grix, he looked like he had won the lottery with a grin from ear to ear!
