Disappointed but not surprised it’s Mamo. Brand would have been my choice, will need him at some point this year, today would have been a good opportunity to get him in the fold
I'd say the Toronto game is a better opportunity to blood Brand and maybe one or two others but, yes, I still remain unconvinced by Mamo so a bit disappointed.
Nonetheless, strong team and I've got high expectations.
It's a long season, can't rely on the same 17 every week. I'd have liked Ashton to be in but realistically he has played 2 more superleague games than I expected him to at this stage and what he has shown in those games mean he will definitely get a lot more minutes this season. We have a good squad, mamo is useful cover and deserves a chance too. So long as we win the selection is right.
