To be honest we handed them 24 points with unforced errors. Cut them out and we were the better team. The sooner the Cod eds accept this the easier it will be to get over it.

Or are they still hurting from last years visit to the KC?

Not at all. Mine was a perfectly reasonable comment about a player with a bad history.

We linked with Martin Aspinwall now?

Am I the only one who thinks that Mason would do a decent job? Twenty minutes per half of 'orrible bullying, with orders to avoid trying to off-load or do anything fancy.

If he cuts the penalties out of his game, he's still an effective battering ram.

I agree, with the snobbery on here anybody would think we are Saints or Wigan. Mason is a tough, reliable athletic front rower - mature and physically at his peak for a prop forward. And whilst the SL Stats section doesn't seem to be working like it used to, his error count seems to be around average for a prop forrard.

1 error this season! Mind, he's only played 6 games.

Agreed. Does need to cut out the penalties but for me never had a high error rate. Very solid.

But you signed Cockayne.

If you actually watch or even understand the game there is no comparison on the field between Ben and the daft lad.

This!

He brings all the qualities that we don't currently possess - i.e. we're 'too nice' at times.

Big, bad and 'orrible is the future!

He offers very little IMHO, always been over rated .
