Quote: Big Steve "If ever a player has turned things around it's Mago.
Middle of last season he was getting 10 minutes game time in which he did close do nothing. Now he's standing out in a pack full of quality.
Really liked him at 13, just adds that extra ball movement we have been lacking in the forwards which helps unlock tight games. Interesting to see whether he plays that role more often - especially when Ellis has been playing so well.
Credit to him for putting the hard work in.'"
Said recently that Mago is like a new signing, mid season last year I would have got rid. It seemed that his effort and attitude into getting into shape becoming of a rugby player as well as his minutes on the pitch were severely lacking in all departments. Rumours were he had been sent away from the squad to train on his own, then following a couple of moderate to better than average performances an announcement of a contract extension was made, much to the dismay of many on here (me included) and around the terraces. Most of us assumed his mild improvement was to gain another contract and he'd slip back into his old ways.
Well he's certainly made us all eat our words, what a stunning turnaround. One of our best players on the field, looks like he's enjoying his rugby too. Fantastic to see.
