Quote Steve Ella's Beard="Steve Ella's Beard"I'm struggling because the thing they're lacking, and their fans felt they were desperately lacking prior to Finch signing for us was another quality halfback to work with Dobson so that they're more difficult to shut down.
The could go and sign the world best winger, but it won't do them much good if they've got problems elsewhere - which I was led to believe they were both from my own observations, and their own fan's comment.'"
We've signed Blake Greene, Dobson's former half-back partner [urlhttp://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/hullkr/HULL-KR-Green-s-keen-excite-Rovers-fans/article-2601154-detail/article.html[/url
As far as Mason goes, it is a slightly different signing than the overseas players we've signed before with the likes of Newton, Galea, Clinton, Dobson etc. proving to be excellent signings even though they are less high profile names.
On the playing side of things; he's still only 30yrs old, not missed a game all season for the Cowboys, is in the NRL top-six for both metres gained and tackle busts so he'll still playing very well.
Commercially it is a massive signing for the club and one that will help us kick on back into the top-four no doubt next season.
For too long we've had several players no where near the pitch such as Cooke & Walker both in excess of 100k a piece so in that respect Mason's wages would be to good use.
