This is why I'm umming and ahhhing about having him as a bit of a running 6 should Austin remain dropped. He'd have protection in tackling from inside and outside and would have the chance to distribute rather than run it if he needs a breather. Let Gaz run the game and Inglis chime in when he wants

All you bods suggesting moving mamo to the wings are giving me flashbacks to him attempting to catch high balls, when he was playing wing.


I'd keep austo dropped, he looked a lot more solid in defence at the weekend, right side has been a mish mash in defence this year till the past weekend,

The opposition are sometimes going to kick to you, whether you are playing wing, full-back or centre. There is a perception among some fans that Mamo can't catch a high ball and never will be able to, but you would hope this is one reason why we have coaching and training - to improve players' skills and abilities. So if catching high balls was a weakness of Mamo's, let's hope it has improved. And anyway, I think his positives outweigh his negatives. The bottom line is that I always think we look a better and more dangerous team with Mamo in it.

Mamo has never been able to catch high balls effectively. It was the same at Huddersfield and the Newcastle Knights. What he does give is effort, tackle busting and speed. Being at centre hides him from those high kicks as they predominantly go to the winger and fullback.

There is also no way you can put Inglis at fullback having not played for 18 months. It is probably the hardest position to play aerobically. He needs to be eased in.

At centre, yes. You put him at wing or fb and you're increasing the odds of a cock up, and trust me, all the goodwill he has garnered will disappear in one knock on that leads to a try

And fair play to the lad he did say when he arrived he wanted to try and play centre and thats where his best form has come.

And we wonder why the sport is lightyears behind a lot of other sports in this country.

Greg Inglis, one of the greatest ever to play the game of RL and one of the biggest signings in Super League history, makes his debut on Saturday, on the OurLeague app, where only Wire and HKR fans can watch, whilst Super League has just signed a greatly-reduced TV deal with Sky Sports, who won't be broadcasting the game anyway.

I must admit, I’m frustrated at having to watch it on the stream as opposed to being there in person or a proper broadcast. It seems like this moment is going to pass many people by, but this guy is one of the greats! Not just blue and yellow bias, but Greg Inglis is heralded as future immortal regularly.

This is the knock on effect from people illegally streaming, whats the point in sky investing.

What’s that got to do with Saturdays game? Sky should have adjusted the scheduling for maximum exposure. It is in the game's best interests. Fox would have broadcasted it in Aus and the reach would have been far greater. They don’t invest because they don’t care not because people find ways and means to watch it. People find ways and means to watch football, rugby union, cricket they aren’t affected. Folk will find means and ways to watch anything they want! Sky not showing this game just sums up what they think of RL at the minute and how important it is to them. It’s a bit of a disgrace that its not being shown live on Sky yet tomorrow Salford v Castleford is.

People shuddered when Matchroom sports we're rumoured to be interested in our sport. That's our problem the "dont want any of that crap" brigade who think everyone will buy into the sport out of some organic interest.

Matchroom sports made 2 blokes throwing darts at a board appealing to the nation and will make some decent £ off Chisora vs Parker on ppv and it isn't even a title fight.

If not them we need someone willing to market us. Christ we were in the papers more when Koukash was mouthing off and drumming up interest than we are now when one of the future immortals is about to play his first game in SL
