I wish he would run harder. Maybe he doesn't have it in him, but he appears to be coasting on lots of his hitups.
Compare to Halatau who really winds up when he engages the defence, except he's a smaller fellow.
I reckon you get Siro to up his carry intensity 20%, you start to see him poke through tackles more and his offload comes into play.

He was good but I keep waiting for him to do something special or have a special game.

His problem is that he hasn't been on the field on a consistent level , always being out with injuries doesn't help your confidence in playing good on a consistent level .
I personally feel his nothing special and doesn't get his angle right when taking the ball up , doesn't bend the line and i can't remember the last time he had a line break . He did score a good Try against the Warriors in Round 1.
Yesterday he was O.K and did nothing wrong but at the same time nothing special .

I think he's been consistently good when fit, but never great. I dare say he'd have one of the lower missed tackle percentages in the club. However, he needs to get more involved.
I'd love to see a back assigned to follow him occasionally around and wait for an offload.

Didn't stand out to me
Can't keep using fitness as an excuse. If he's not going to give us his best due to injuries, why are we persisting with him then?

That is the thing Masterton - his strength is his off load. No one trails him / or is he not allowed to off load. If they are just going to try and turn him into a battering ram - he would just be wasted. I have always seen him as a SBW type or similar to young Cartwright but you need to have options to be able to off load.
We have enough battering rams - we need a ball playing / off loading forward that we don't have - I think he is it.

I reckon he can be as well but I think he might be too slow out wide. Maybe he should be moved to the lock forward role.

He's a lock or nothing IMO
Not saying I would pick him, but second row isn't his go. That's a good move for a kid who grew up playing centres, they are used to playing in a channel, have a strong side in A and D, deciding whether to take the tackle or have a go outside etc…. But he grew up a half. I had more faith in him when sheensius played him at 5/8 and Harry Potter whacked the 7 on him. We actually won occasionally back then lol
No, I don't think he should ever be in the halves, but he needs a license to roam and pass or he is a waste of a spot.

The biggest problem with Siro is that the club played him as five eight, when he was always going to end up in the forwards.
This stuffed him up its not easy transforming into the forwards, at least the club is doing the right thing with Bailey.

This is another worn out debate. Overall, Sironen has been a disappointment and it's not all due to his injuries. He doesn't run hard and straight enough and his offload rarely comes into play. Maybe he just doesn't want to play in the forwards as he was a ball playing five eighth in the 20s.

Great ball and all defender.
But injury prone and just can't make a break.
