Heath Mason #288

[yeti]

I’ve had enough of so called naturally talented players.
Give me an effort man anyday.

A cricket analogy would be an Australian batsman called Ross Edwards. Really limited in natural ability but his effort and dedication to become the best player he could be had him playing plenty of Test matches for Oz, when we had some great players - the Chappells, Walters etc.
I like Seyfarth. I hope he has a big season. We need him to.

 

[Tucker]

Why not both?

They play for the good clubs

It’s my nickname for him.
I seen a doco of a baby giraffe being born and it had to try and walk asap. Hilarious.
That was Sayfart in his first five years of NRL; a baby giraffe trying to walk.

An omen...

Two giraffe calves born today NSW​

Well Mason is known for his energy and endurance and acceleration. That's about it. His defence and kick defusal is a looooong way off nsw cup level, and a mile away from first grade calibre. If he practices a lot maybe he'll become a sufficient backup. But basically he's a ball runner. No playmaking or kicking game, not much defence. Just accleration and energy.
A Connor Watson type, so he's likely to be a 14 for much of his career

Then move the guy to wing and be done with it.

From what I have read here …Mason is on a development contract and can now be signed elsewhere for next year …

can someone confirm ?

If true…give him a Top 30 deal for next year pronto

Ridiculous he’s not in the top 30, yet a player like Faataape is

Has Faataape been upgraded thought it was a lower deal?

Same with Kit 🫠🫠🫠

Depends if heath wants to be back up to Bula? For me he is a great 14 can cover a lot of positions. Hopefully he gets resigned, local junior

He’ll get signed somewhere.

3 weeks ago most on here had put the red pen through him. Amazing what a couple of weeks does.

Possibly has something to do with fielding high balls during the off season and playing with a lot more confidence as a result.

 

[JC99]

Still looked shaky under the high ball in the trial. If he's fullback round 1 he will get targeted all game

Faataape & Porter were both signed to Development deals in the off season- not Top 30.

If Bula isn’t ready for R1 can Mason play fullback if he isn’t in the Top 30?

The kid has speed to burn and can break a tackle but he needs to get over this fear of contesting kicks. Not sure if its a fear of making a mistake or getting injured.

Good kid but don’t think we need him, we already have players and potential back ups in the positions he is playing. If we have a spot and no potential of filling it with a reasonable centre then give him a one year deal of some sort and see how he goes, maybe second year club option.

It might be lack of ability in that area of his game. Some people are just better than others at things, and therefore others are crappolla.

 

[Bones]

I think there is enough to suggest he will be a decent fill in, but I don’t see him going too much further than that. His utility value is probably his biggest asset but that may also be a weakness as he isn’t really good enough to hold 1 position down.
