I really like Mamo to watch, especially since he's been in consistently good form.

Genuine question though for a bit of balance (not being rhetorical here) - on current form would he have got a starting spot at Saints or Wigan two months ago when they were clear leaders in the league? I can't decide that's why I'm asking. He's not signed for a club that I see as a Top 6 rival next year. In fact I'm surprised Hull KR didn't go for him as he seems like he'd thrive under Smith.

Improved leaps and bounds since getting his chance on a regular basis. Seems to be one of those players who's enthusiasm is infectious. A real pity he's moving on.



Perhaps his enforced inclusion in the team has enabled his confidence to grow & he has taken his chances with both hands. A joy to watch.

Gave up years ago

Can only wish Jake all the best for next year and beyond. He will definitely receive a warm welcome back on his returns to the HJ. Fine player and a lovely guy with a questionable interview technique.

One of the games characters.
I'm really disappointed he's leaving but don't blame him.
All I can say is that Mata'utia has a lot to live up to.

(And good luck Jake - you deserve a 1st team spot).

My main positive with Mamo, apart from the fact he's obviously a character, is his pace and there really is no substitute for raw pace.

If Ashton can stay fit it's not an issue, if not the backline suddenly looks a bit pedestrian.

Yes Mamo does add something different to guys like Charnley, Ratchford, King and Lineham because of his pace so it does take away a dimension from our attack, which Mata'utia doesn't bring.

But I think easywire's point above is relevant, would he be a starter at Wigan or Saints. I feel like Mamo is one of those players who brings some great attributes but has flaws and in big games he could be got at by top teams, more so than Mata'utia.

Will be interesting to see how he is received by Wire fans when he plays for Cas. I expect rather than getting the usual "whats the score" chant he will get applauded by Wire fans like Toa when he went to Hull, which is respect that is given to few players.

Mamo would easily get in both saints and Wigan teams right now. Jeez, Wigan are rumoured to be bringing back Thornley! I'm sure if you asked their fans whether they'd like him or mamo the answer would be pretty unanimous.

If you dig out my posts from when we signed him, I was the biggest anti mamo person on the planet, and ill maintain that, wing or fullback, I still shudder at the thought of him under a bomb.

At centre, both last year and this, with a run of games he has been very good, equally in defence.

I cant think of any thing where I could point the finger squarely at him.

I know we had the Huddersfield debacle, but yhat was in a period where that whole right side of defence was off, charnley was getting pelters for stuff that wasn't his fault, just that they were running past him as the last man.

All that being said, would I give him 3 years? Probably not in the current climate, and it's a ballsy move by cas to do so, when the bigger clubs are handing out 12 month extensions where they can get away with it.

I will echo something else said elsewhere, had mamo not got his hattrick, we'd all be talking a lot more about wrench this weekend,

Really have enjoyed watching Mamo and glad he is playing so well and very sorry to see him go.
Mata'utia though is a very different and highly rated player I reckon he will become very popular at Wire. In a salary cap sport you just can't keep King, Matautia and Mamo happy.

Good luck for the future, Jake, you've been a fun watch, especially in 2021.
