Just been unveiled for Warrington next year, thoughts?

I see him as a real talent but probably not worth the wage based on last seasons form.

Would any Wakefield fans of been interested in him and if so would you have released anyone in order to sign him?

Couldn't care less.

Show pony not worth the quota spot.

Typical wire signing.

Ratchford is a far better fullback too, can't see Mamo displacing him so perhaps he's going on the wing.

Fancy Golding you guys?

No thanks already got two fullbacks plus another two who can play there who are a lot better.

Seriously who cares, don’t get the thread.

Don’t like it don’t comment.

We’ve just got rid of he player holding the number 1 shirt last year, leaving us with two young unproven fullbacks and a utility back who has been played at fullback before who is also someone who you said wasn’t good enough to play there.

I wanted to see if anyone else had an opinion on the situation and if they saw Mamo as a suitable option. Obviously hypertchetical...

Mamo of 2017 I would have jumped at the chance to sign for the fullback spot. The 2018 version has been poor. I do wonder what Chesters plans are for fullback, I think it's quite obvious it will be someone inside the current squad but our number one could be any one of; Jowitt, Hooley, Hampshire or Reynolds.

How the hell is Jowitt unproven in his first full season we finished in the top eight for the first time in years with him as our primary fullback as well as getting to a CC semi final.

Exciting times ahead in the fullback berth and plenty of opportunities for one or more to make it their own

If you look, according to that site nobody in the team played more than 13 games, it also doesn't go beyond round 12 in SL. it also says above the squad stats - Quote Appearances and Points include (Super League,Challenge Cup and Play-offs) as of 24 April 2016'" so it only goes to April 24th. I know he played a fair number of games because BJB started there and a few games in he went to the wing and Jowitt took over for the majority of the season. In 2016 according to the RL project, Jowitt played 24 games at FB including CC games. [urlhttp://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/max-jowitt/summary.html[/url Plus if you remember he got Rookie of the Year, so he definitely won't have played that few.

One season wonder. Probably the ugliest guy in Super League too?

Fair enough lads, I’ve egg on my face with the stats but it still doesn’t mean he’s proven...

No, but it does mean you've proven that you're not in a position really to comment on him. If you'd seen him play those games you'd know how well he did. The fact that you thought he played only 5 games tells me all I need to know about you!

Here we go again with Jowitt. He gets on every thread lets hope he doesn't get in the team

You know nothing about me Fordy mush, that was actually the last time I had a season ticket; I attended every league game barring 3. The fact I believed he had only played 5 games is reassuring as it means he did nothing that stood out.

The fact that you're ignorant enough to defend Max purely based on the fact he wears a Trinity shirt tells me all I need to know about you.

Compare him to other SL fullbacks that year...

Jamie Shaul - Won the league
Luke Dorn - Finished 2 league places above us
Ken Sio - Relegated
Niall Evalds - Scraped through after winning the Million Pound Game

Max Jowitt scored 5, assisted 6, missed 26 tackles, carried the ball 249 times, made 1558 metres which gave him an average gain of 6.26 metres, made 6 clean breaks and finally making 20 errors.
Jamie Shaul – scored 14, assisted 7, missed 17 tackles, carried the ball 337 times, made 3057 metres which gave him an average gain of 9.07 metres, made 22 clean breaks and finally making 37 errors.
Luke Dorn - scored 14, assisted 21, missed 20 tackles, carried the ball 228 times, made 1606 metres which gave him an average gain of 7.04 metres, made 19 clean breaks and finally making 18 errors.
Niall Evalds - scored 12, assisted 0, missed 16 tackles, carried the ball 120 times, made 918 metres which gave him an average gain of 7.65 metres, made 11 clean breaks and finally making 6 errors.
Ken Sio - scored 11, assisted 4, missed 23 tackles, carried the ball 321 times, made 3028 metres which gave him an average gain of 9.43 metres, made 10 clean breaks and finally making 14 errors.

So yes, he played Fullback for us more times than anyone else at Trinity in 2016 but as per the above, did nothing in those games. I'm not saying he's a bad player, the lad has potential but he hasn't proved himself for me as a starting Super League fullback.

I would think this puts me in a position to comment

That's the thing Lil Willy, if he does get in the side; I want him to tear it up but based on what he's shown previously... that's not what is going to happen.

Jake Mamo is a show pony who quickly went lame; next!

Indeed. Got stuck out on the wing for Hudds in the end

its a good move for Mamo, show pony or not watch out for a totally different player next season

Mamo has the strength of Samson …. in that he was much better before he had his hair cut. Since? Not so much.
