I couldn't help but feel in last night's trial (albeit it was just a glorified training run) that we are one prop short.

Agreed Helmesy. I hope Groat starts to step up because I just don't think he is up to first grade at the moment. BMM looks mighty chubby too, not sure how his season will be this year.
Mason would certainly be great to ensure we have the depth there.
Management knows that too. I think you have to be well short stacked to be talking to a troublesome player like mason.
I have to disagree BMM looked alot fitter than he did last year …..... I can see big Willie playing off the bench but after watching last night we have so many young quality players in he team already and all Timmy sheens needs is to have another player to choose from.....
Just keep in mind Robbie, Rowdy a Lote was not here lat night so what happens to everyone else????

I m starting to steer to the idea we don't need him. I was really keen for him to come to he tigers but do we really need him?

Yeah those backs & hooker were missing, but in terms of Props, who do we really have outside the main 4 of Galloway, Woods, Bell & Groat?
We really have BMM, Moors & Mosese. Not much when you need 4 fit props, week in, week out.
I think someone of Masons caliber could come in very handy in that depth. We have some amazing quality depth in our backs (almost too much!), but not in the forwards.

Thought Matt groat was solid last night! Was a bloody trial hard to really judge anyone's performance based on one trial match. He will be important to us this year

Normal props don;t develop at 18-21 years of age (Woods is a freak and will be one of the greats)
So another experienced prop will be important for us onfield with Groat & BMM still being very young and needing time to mature into their body and their game.
I hope we get Mason because I think Sheens and our culture will be able to control him. If Gibbs had come through somewhere like the dogs he may well have gone down the same road as mason. He didn't, and he didn;t.

We are one prop short maybe even two props short because the Fib and the Fonz released two of our best and bought Matt BELL !!!!!

Even though i dont like Mason i think he we be a good back up prop for us @ the right price, Iam also sure Sheens would keep him under control.

Yes you are right but as i said i dont like him but he could be worth the risk, one mistake & he would be out.

Bug, I didn't think that Bell did anything wrong last night. I think we will get exactly what was expected from him and that is to clean up the defence. Offers little in attack though, but if he plays the last 15 mins before half time then that might be exactly what we need.

So now it's the Tigers, Panthers,Knights & Bulldogs who are after Mason.
Looks like this one is going to drag on for a little longer.

Chris you say that the WT are not interested in Mason but Smoking Gun says the opposite.
Time will tell who is right.
