Thanks for the comments so far guys. We had James Green last season, another big unit, who copped loads of criticism from our supporters, for an apparent lack of aggression. However, he only played nine games for us, (including a victory over you lot!) and was only given about 20-25 minutes per game. It must be very difficult to build up any sort of form or momentum, with such irregular appearances.

Hopefully we can give Nathan the game time and our coaches can add something to his game - but not too much, in case you want him back!

Good idea for both club and mason himself.get plenty of game time each week,plus playing in a winning team most weeks will boost his confidence.and come back a better player in 2019.

Sometimes a change of club and coach can change a player altogether, and as you rightly say playing in a winning side on a regular basis ( something he has never done at Fartown ) can do wonders for a player. Good luck to him I hope he goes well for Leigh.

Nathan had plenty of aggression and didn't take a backward step when he first started.
I think the game time he's received has probably effected him more than some realise.

He,s 24 ffs, in prop terms he,s just a lad, l,m sure he will return a better player, game time is what he needs, should get plenty at Leigh, and hopefully kick on.

well said, not his fault he hasn't had a lot of game time in the past 12 months, don't think he's ever let us down either when called upon.
