I can see him going to Saints, either as a direct replacement for Barba for 2019 if he's NRL bound, or in the centres when Morgan leaves. Also, he could be free to leave half way through this season from reports i've read. If Saints do manage to get him this year, the competition is already over.

Think he's had a few games at Sheffield

So that's now Mamo, Mead and Naiqama we've been linked with and Escare being looked at by other teams. If we COULD have one, who would people want?

If we can get Mead I'd take him all day long over Mamo. Plenty of NRL 1st grade games under his belt and a quality FB

Disappointed we haven't moved on a full back yet,have seen Peter Mata'uita playing several times playing for Leigh this season, amazing runner,solid defensively and great under the high ball. Is prone to the odd rush of blood but nothing that Powell couldn't coach out of him. Huge potential at a potentially reasonable price.

Anybody know if Tomkins would still go to Catalans next year if they get relegated?

Knowing the RFL if they were in the place to be relegated they'd quickly announce the expansion of super league to 14+ teams.

Mamo played center today, he imo was poor, didn’t do a great deal and let a one on one tackle in for a wakey try.
I know it’s not his preferred spot but looked weak.

Yeah didn't notice him. More worrying was Mamo. Looked weak defensively and poor positionally. Hia technique is awful. Alsoin centre but still, if we are linked with him it scares me a bit

Are people forgetting how Mead went at full back for PNG in the world cup?

Besides Mamo doesn't look like he could tackle a large dinner!
