Quote: Saint #1 "I'm not a huge fan of Masoe in general because he doesn't get through enough work IMO, but he was really good tonight. He got reasonably quick play the balls and drew a lot of defenders. Two examples come to mind. One carry he took in on Wigan line, they had to commit numbers to the tackle to stop him. When he played the ball (inbetween the posts), Wigan had 4 players between the posts, then one either side of the posts. If one carry from him can do that, it gives our backs more space, and we scored on the next play.
The other example he took a carry coming out of our own half. Won the floor, got a quick PTB before the markers were set, Roby scooted and got another quick PTB and Burns kicked a 40/20 as a result. There are very few players in Super League who can require a team to commit so many defenders to a tackle (or get quick play the balls if they don't).'"
Yeah, that was a good play the ball. I think had you not worked the overlap on that attempt to score, we were rattled anyway and you'd have been in somewhere in that set.
For me he needs to do more minutes. I understand his thing is his weight and with that probably comes a lack of fitness, but remember that prop for St George who has a massive gut on him but put in massive minutes?
