For Mamo think Kevin Penny with a bit more brains.


"Kevin Penny with a bit more brains" ... sounds good to me.

As I said elsewhere, much as I applaud the club for increasing the size and depth of the squad, it still strikes me as a luxury buy and I don't think Mamo will see himself outside the starting 17 most days.

Price described him as a FB, wing or centre. So perhaps he is seen as potentially the replacement for Atkins/Goodwin. However, given the feedback on his passing ability that hardly bodes well.

I've just been watching a few vids of Mamo on youtube. I remember him looking pretty quick and strong when he first joined Hudds but on his montages from Newcastle Knights he looks to have been a sensational athlete when he first emerged. I know montages always show players in a good light, but in terms of raw speed and acceleration he was something else - in the speed range of a young Kevin Penny but with greater size and power.

I wonder if injuries have taken the edge off his pace which will be a shame, but if not then there is definitely a potential star in there if he stays fit and clicks with Steve Price. Definitely worth taking a punt on and will bring something totally different to what we currently have.

Totally agree. Some players can never become exciting players because they lack pace. This boy has pace and has scored several long distance tries. Very good signing.

This time last season we had matt Russell starting on the wing, now we have a reserve who is better than him. The squad for next season is a lot stronger than last.

Great point

We are those 6 and 8 points better with Austin over Roberts too.
If Price cannot deliver with such investment....

Steady boys. Expectation can make life difficult. "Supporters" never satisfied and opposition revved up to beat the big boys. I think we look strong and one or two others do but ... steady.

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.

We have a stronger squad but looking at Saints I think they have a stronger squad than last season.

And so another season listening to "typical Wire fans think they will win everything...its always their year".
