Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:26 am  

Biggest waste of space since Garrett crossman !! Sits on the bench for 50 minutes comes on has one carry returning a drop out , then spends the next ten minutes hiding behind the play of the ball, pushing other players into position to carry the ball. (All in Leeds 20 btw) then goes back for another rest ,
I think on the super league dream team site he has managed 5 carries in 2 games !!! All from our big impact player , he needs to take a look at David fafita and have a dig!

Have to agree I thought he had trimmed down so can play more minutes and if he come on in the last 20 and scored or helped score the match winning try then fair enough ,why have probably your highest paid prop on the bench and not bring him on till the end, I think jewitt and mullern put him to shame on Friday

Re: Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 11:11 am  

Mulhern and Jewett were great fronted up well putting in the hard yards and plenty of defensive efforts too. On masoe his second spell last 10 minutes if I remember rightly carried a few more times (maybe 3? ) but handled easily by stevie ward ! I know he is an outstanding defender but a fresh 19 stone guy in the last 10 should be doing far more damage then just trundling it up

The only people who ever rated him when he was at saints were the sky commentators. Now he seems to have lost size and fitness. Makes you wonder what he's been doing in pre season as your other props look to have no fitness issues

Re: Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 11:18 am  

And reguards his bench time , maybe coach doesn't trust him ! Knows he is lazy and only in the 17 due to salery , he will know his job is to come on for short spells and make a handful of himself and if that's the case he should be carrying at least once in every set he is on not loafing around behind the play. In my opinion he should be embarresed

Re: Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 11:23 am  

I agree jake , I don't come on here much and certainly don't post much but the way he played Friday was horrible! All other forwards played very well putting in big efforts, some may say his match fitness will improve as we go but I think it's more of a cannot be bothered attitude , he should come on and demand the ball for the period he's out there

Re: Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 12:12 pm  

He can only go on when Sheens sends him. Found myself shouting for both him and Lunt to be brought on fairly early on 1st half.Lee wasn't doing a bad job but Lunt is sharper at PTB.Masoe and Walne didn't get much time at all? Scruton being back may help matters and Donno although lacking real size has a big engine.Will be very interesting to see how we fare v Cats. They aren't as big as other seasons but are very rough team which we seem to struggle against.Will I am and Mead looked dangerous but 13 french guys in that 17 yesterday.Some of Saints goal line D was immense.

Re: Masoe : Sun Feb 11, 2018 1:17 pm  

What he does when he actually gets on is in his control! He is on the bench to come on and make an impact and 3 carries over two spells isn't the impact we need. As I said 50 minutes in attacking Leeds line and a fresh masoe where was he ? He should have been demanding a run every set or even running decoy lines to attract Leeds defenders to him but no stood behind Lunt doing nothing.

Thought he did well in qualifiers? Only 2 games in new season so may come good?I'm not saying your opinion is wrong just that it's bit early for judging?

Yes give him 5 or 6 games then we can complain
