Character assassination, grow up.
I said I didn't rate him enough for him to be worth the money he's allegedly on.
So go on justify to me why he was worse bringing half way around the world and paying what I suspect is three times what Grix the player he replaced is on.
The issue is not how good he is but is he worth bringing so far and paying so much when there are British FB's who could do the job. How will we ever win at international level if we are depending on 29 game NRL players?
However Fickle that's not what this is about is it. You've decided for reasons best known to yourself to have a pop at me. Fine but let's not pretend it's about Momo a player a I doubt you give two stuffs about.
I'll go through this one at a time, then I'm finished.
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.
