Looks fit anyway,not the classic 'christmas turkey' who has allegedly been training the house down in Australia before jumping on the plane. Reckon he's the sort of player you could chuck into the first team now and would be a huge asset - go forward and strong 'd',allowing for some possible misreads because he is not up to speed with the style of the players around him.

stone says mamo probably around 4-5 weeks off playing

will have to be patient

but is macintosh plays the way he has been then we have no worries at full back

That means he'll be back for a tough (on paper) run of fixtures. A baptism of fire.

Think they will all be tough this year. Think it will be a particularly tight table. Still am not convinced we will totally avoid the bottom four- but don't think we will be bothered by the million pound game.
I can see that a couple of teams will have played well and be disappointed to finish in the bottom four. I also think that KR will be lucky to come up this year as the championship sides seem more evenly matched rather than the four or five strong sides and then the rest we've seen previously- and so I can see they will get little solid preparation for the middle eight games. -dont think they will be doing a Leigh and coming up by avoiding the MPG.

What would make me the happiest is McIntosh playing a blinder week in week out, and Mamo fighting for a place on the wing, or Centre (can he play Centre?)

I agree they're all tough in superleague these days but Mamo will be back facing Wigan (A), Leeds (H), Cas (A), St Helens (A), Catalans (H) and Warrington (A) within a month. More reason than ever to get off to a reasonable start.

As always pre-season means not a lot and it doesn't matter how much you've improved - the question is have you improved more than the opposition.

Absolutely agree, and another plus point is hopefully Darnell will have a bit of SL experience too by the time Jake is ready.
