Without a doubt Mason ruined Fielden...before the incident every1 was frightened of him, that one punch gave every one belief that they can have a pop at him......clearly been ineffective since. It knocked his confidence and players didnt back away from him, simple as. As with Graham, there is no taking this lad off...if he feels he can do it, then let him. I think he is just a unique player with a huge stamina rate (like that of Palea'aesina ). He will know when he needs a rest...

This is ignoring the fact that his slump began AT LEAST a year earlier.

Jammer or Mugwump? I'll get my coat.....

Yes; he's had enough.
