Mamo has done better than I expected, but if he isn't going to be first choice I think his space should go to a younger player from our own ranks.

He provides good cover for wing and centre, but I don't think he's good enough to be first choice centre / winger for a side battling for trophies. Thewlis/Ashton should get a wing spot ahead of him and hopefully Roebuck can start covering centre next year...? All of these players I'd expect to be on significantly less than Mamo so would help with cap space also.

Me too.

Regarding Mamo, he's done alright at centre but I think he is a winger really. He has filled in well because he has a great attitude and clearly always wants to do his best for the team. He's a great squad player to have, he's not quite good enough to be first choice fullback, winger or centre in our current playing roster but he would be in my squad every week and with injuries/ bans he has meant we haven't noticed the missing player so badly. He would play more often than not as first choice cover but if he wants a starting shirt then its possibly best he finds that elsewhere unfortunately.

I'd live him to stay, just for his attitude and commitment to the team. If he goes elsewhere then they will have signed a great team player with a spot on attitude. Personally I think its more important we keep Toby King.

Mamo did score two arguably game breaking tries against Les Cats & HKR & right attitude equals commitment.

Mamo has earned a deal off the back of his f-bomb. I was near in tears for 10 mins after it.

As well as the last gasp try at hull to salvage a point.

Mamo’s last gash blush savers for the team, does more to highlight the weakness around other positions that need addressing. It doesn’t make Mamo immune from being put on the bench. Mamo on the bench makes the 17 strong. I always want a utility back and 3 forwards on the bench.

Mata’utia had one of the worst games I’ve seen from a Cas player for a long time against Hull KR.
He’s been good for us generally, but he won’t be a massive loss if he moves elsewhere.

Personally, I've always enjoyed her work... 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me' & 'California Dreaming' are superb songs.
