Was very impressed with him tonight, you guys have a real workhorse who gets through a ton of work.

All the props turned up tonight, which they had to given we lost Mason so early.

Raleigh did what he always does. Gave his best and like usual his best means he is a quality player.

Does anyone know what happened to Mason?

Shoulder problem I heard, dunno if gospel though Matt.

I think they said a shoulder muscle tear on Sky but don't quote me. Rest of the props and the whole team really stood up tonight - man down after 5 mins and 20mins with 12.

Could be a struggle next week against Hull's pack

Patrick could be getting an early chance then.

It would seem likely. I think he is a great prospect, lets hope he takes his chance well.

He's apparently 100kg plus now as well and if he runs that weight with the same enthusiasm as last year then he should prove a capable deputy.

Patrick is going to be a permanent fixture for the first team in the not too distant future i'm sure and with the speed he hit the line last year and with a few pounds extra on now I think he's going to be a crowd pleaser, which is unusual for a prop at such a young age.

Mason torn his pectoralis major, not shoulder problem. 4 - 6 weeks.

Andy's work rate and time on the pitch was excellent, but he is often too upright when he takes the ball forward. Something to work on as prop.
