So basically... A Naff version of Atkins?

That's an easy no

Re: Rumours 2 : Wed Nov 14, 2018 1:15 pm  

Lets not forget the huge potential that was talked about whilst he was at Newcastle, when he come over he was seen as a great signing and he delivered on that promise in his first season with Hudds, although I am a Wakefield fan I get free tickets to all Giants home games so regularly go and he was great to watch, last season he seemed to bit in and out of the team and delivered a fair few poor performances, I think he is the definition of a confidence player.

Reminds me a lot of the Jacob Miller situation, came over from Wests with huge raps, on a huge wage, didn't quite live up to the expectation of what was expected from him at such a young age, signed for Wakefield and has found a home here as probably one of the most consistent halves in the league.

If you can get him for the right price on a 1 year deal I really think this really is a no brainier for me, if he is performing well you have the option to negotiate a deal with him before any other club has chance to and if he disappointing he`s on his way.

Point 1) "Mamo is a fire and ice player." - Much like Atkins

Point 2) "Will try and tackle anyone but lacks strength so is weak in defence, run at him at pace and you are through." - Atkins is very strong however he is also quite weak in defence.

Point 3) "Will drop a few high balls too." - Atkins is a rarity under a high ball so can't comment on that, however he will throw a ball into touch.

Point 4) "Not really a team player- will try and go himself" - Much like Atkins.

Point 5) "looks great when he scores but frustrating when the pass is on and he doesn’t take it." - Atkins in a nutshell.

Point 6) "He will score some great tries that’s for sure and if he breaks the line he won’t likely be caught." - Just like Atkins.


All in all... Sounds like a poor mans Atkins at fullback or on the wing.

I don't see why you've chosen to pick out one of the negative posts on him. There are lots of very positive ones from those who have seen him in action.
Another very negative post from you.

That's the world we live in nowadays unfortunately. People would still moan if we signed Kodi Nikorima.

ive seen mamo play more than you to know he no good at full back to come into the line and pass.

hit and miss mamo but you never know what you will get with him! thats if he stays fit too, just not played enough games to justify the salary he was on

I never said I didn't like the lad. I think he's a very good attacking threat. However, even the posiive comments all seem to have the same things also said about him... Shakey under a high ball, Injury Prone, Error ridden etc, etc, etc.

Hes an ok squad player to fill in a couple of times if we're desperate but thats about it. He's not a major coup, if he was it would be all over the usual social media platforms that clubs are dying to land him. They haven't though have they? he's ended up with us on a free.

I hope he comes in and smashes it and becomes man of steel but until then he's just another back-up utility player and though I hope he doesn't, as he has bags of potential to smash SL, but I expect him to be filed under 'Not a bad lad, gave us his all and really tried. Just a shame theres better options in front of him'

Along with Kev Penny, Lee Mitchell, Gary Wheeler, Jordan Cox, Sam Wilde, Rhys Williams, Rhys Evans, Ben Evans, James Laithwaite, Mitch Brown, Matty Blythe, Ryan Bailey, Matty Russell (excelled and trying and failing), Gene Ormsby, Antony England, George King etc...
