No problem.
You are going to enjoy his trade mark twenty meter runs on attack , We've got some effective tacklebot forwards in our squad ( too many lean tackling secound rowers ) and our Four prop Rotation was the best in the NRL two seasons ago ( they've gone off the boil ) when we play Masoe , honestly it's Like Watching a Man playing little kids.
I didn't realise you were picking up Walsh as well , either player arriving on their own would be limited in their impact.....someone in your organisation had the foresight to look at how Walsh and Masoe Link off each other.
Put Mose one on one in the red zone the way Penrith have used him , very few players can stop him. You really want a nippy fast Hooker/ Half / Fullback ....who evers quickest over 40mtrs at dummy half behind that mac truck.
Support runners off a Masoe hit up. It wouldn't be a stretch to suggest that he kept a very average Penrith Roster in play off contention this season.
Mose is coming up there after peaking this season.

| Quote Offside Monkey="Offside Monkey"Brown's got things going in the right direction.
His major signings for next season look great ( Amor, Masoe & Walsh)
I'm a little worried that we'll be deceived by our end of season form, though. We were rank for large periods of last season. I hope the improvement was down to us getting our game head on and not just random. Hopefully, now Brown has had his experimental phase, we'll start next season well.
We still need a 6. If we can't buy an established top level 6 like, say, Holdsworth, I'd have like us to have gone for a Walmsley equivalent from the lower division. We can't rely on Wheeler and Lance is just crap.
We could do with a centre until Percy matures, but he may stack on quite a bit this offseason. I'd try and poach Collis or Lynn from Wakey, perhaps.'"
I reckon there'll be some decent, undiscovered centres at the World Cup. It's whether we'll put our hands in our pockets and make a deal happen. Saying that, I was surprised that we paid a fee for and beat other teams to Amor.

| Mose was in a good frame of mind tonight.
He hasn't lost any of it.
NZ were killing Samoa before they Rolled the Monster out and played off the back of it.
I really respect that guy , forced to tip my kiwi hat to you Mr Masoe sir.......sigh ....again.
If that didn't impress you.......you're a tough crowd.

I'm impressed. It has made me more excited next season than I was already. He could scatter defences over here.

The New Zealand forwards were rightfully backing themselves to walk over the Samoan's they have the core of the NRL Winners powering their pack.
Not the first time , and certainly won't be the last that players struggle with Masoe. He made the world champs look pretty average.

| He's an absolute monster, very impressive.
However, I hope we get him on a good conditioning regime. He's nothing like Feka though, fairly mobile for such a big guy.

| I thought Mose went well tonight. He's got that aggression we've lacked for a long time. He runs good and hard and will walk some teams next year. His defence is hard and solid.
However, he needs to lose few lbs and work on his fitness. At times tonight he struggled to get back into the line and was stood in the kiwi defensive line.
I'm sure a good pre-season will whip him into better shape and will be great asset next year. I'm really looking forward to seeing play.
Samoa had few decent players. The number 10, 16 and number 4 all impressed me.
Really enjoyed the game at Warrington tonight.

| Mose was looking a stone over his NRL playing weight. The Penrith Panthers didn't feature in the finals.
So Bare in mind Masoe has been out of footy for six weeks and was unfit.

| To be fair, I was excited about last season, but that started like a wet fart.
We've really bulked up the forwards and got ourselves what should be a cracking general. As long as the lads pull their finger out (unlike half of last season), Brown has them playing from day one and we don't get clogged up by the dead wood that's floating about, we should go well.
