And probably neither do Sita, Livett, one of King or Atkins, Patten....

Not harsh in my view CH, but reality. If everyone's fit at the start of the season, then for me, Mamo doesn't make our 17.

Can we agree on “step up from who he replaces”?
Improving the squad must be the aim, and he certainly does that.

Absolutely, he improves on M Brown or Pomeroy as someone has already mentioned.

Cannot disagree TG, competition for places is a positive thing.

Sorry MPN I'm going to (slightly) disagree as "squad filler" to me suggests that he will fill in ONLY as cover?

Whereas I might agree he's not in the starting 17 day one, the difference, admittedly founded on hope rather than 100% surity based on watching him week in week out, is that he has the potential to perform at a level to keep the shirt if Price operates a squad based on meritocracy....a subtle step up from squad filler fingers crossed

If you look at the 7 players that have left since the end of the 2018 season and then look at the 6 replacements signed so far, then we are already far stronger than we were.

Hard to criticise M Brown & Pomeroy ,both were only here as stopgaps & both dogged by injury ,but neither did anything wrong when they played.

Harsh “squad filler”, think he has shown more with Hudds than M Brown ever did for us. Still, time will tell.

I don't think he will displace any of our current back 5 will he? So he will be like M Brown?

Would you have thought T King would displace Atkins at start of last season? From the little I have seen of him he performs at a higher level than M Brown (and at least I was aware of Mamo before he signed for us, unlike Mitch Brown).

Livett could replace Hughes too if he plays to his potential.
