He's getting some fitness from just playing. He looks a lot better fitness wise since the kiwi game.

He's got a gut on him looking at him last night. I'd make the comparison with Feka from his NZ Warriors days when he first came over here. He was in good nick for a spell. I remember being at his debut in Catalans first ever league game in Perpignan and he scored a try from about 30-40 metres out and had good pace. He let himself go in his time here and turned in to a slob.

Looking at Masoe he's somewhere in between the Feka of 2006 and the Feka of 2008-09. He's a lot taller and a beast of a bloke but looks like he needs to trim down. He will be good as he is but I think you could have a real star on your hands there if you can get him to shed about a stone or a bit more.

You also need to try and keep him away from Red Hall!

He's overweight currently, no question about that. He had 6 weeks off before the World Cup started apparently. I'm sure he'll resemble Danny Arnold before the Super League season starts.

He just ran over and trampled Ashton Sims like he was Rob Burrow!

How's he playing?

No big deal today

This been his worst performance of the World Cup. I've noticed he doesn't like driving the ball in his own 20m. Doesn't seem to want to do the hard yards.

I agree. Teams will kick deep knowing he's not going to do any hard work. However I think today he played longer than usual due to injuries in the Samoan team, so that may have been a factor.

Picked up ankle injury on Monday and aggravated it again in the 2nd half.

he cant be used for big minutes, he becomes ineffective. short stints to bulldoze the opposition is what hes best at. then leave them sore for Amor, LMS and even Walmesley

I think the whole team was flat to be honest. They just didn't seem up for it.

I think Sia had been immense for Samoa this World Cup. Played the full 80 (I think) in all the games. He's been massive in defence and attack and showed some leadership qualities.

Soliola has been outstanding throughout this World Cup.

He's also been saints best player for past two years. I really like Sia, he's been a terrific player for saints. Everything he does is 100%. He runs hard, tackles hard but plays fair.

Great player and great guy off the pitch. A great example for any young player.

Masoe will only be effective if he's used for 10 mins at the end of each half, unless of course he is rail roaded in pre season training.......but I feel you may lose some of his effect on a game if you try to slim him down.

Have to say the two Fijian wingers are fliers, Uate is awesome !!

To be a constant threat in next years super league Mose needs to improve his fitness.

I always find it strange how one game can change people's opinions on a player.

Today didnt tell us anything about Masoe that we didn't already know. He is better when used in short spells and his fitness needs to improve. The club know that, and he has publicly acknowledged that he has a lot of work to do fitness wise. Either way, I have no doubt that he will do well for us next year.

I can't see anyone who has changed their opinion of him. I think we all know what we are getting with Mose.

Masoe will be lethal from 5m and I'll bet there's SL players already not looking forward to colliding with him.

As for Sia Soliola, new found respect for him during this WC, been incredible.

Sia is pretty much like that for saints every single week.

I think Mose might surprise a few people with his stamina. He's obviously not James Graham, but he quite often put in 35-40 mins for Penrith last season. It does take him time to recover from making a couple of tackles or a hit up, though, so he may be vulnerable to spot sets. For me the benefits significantly outweigh the drawbacks, though.

Soliola has had a good World Cup on the back of a good season.
Was he near to Saints player of the season or did he get the award?

He was the clear standout, but he was injured for a big chunk (8 weeks springs to mind?).

They gave it to Jordan Turner however, so I think maybe it's just given on the same basis as you get with junior football teams where they give the kid who can't kick the ball a trophy to make him feel good.

Is that the voice of experience talking? How many trophies did you get before you worked that out?

I was the Padgate Pele. I got Players Player every year.

I think he was out for 11 weeks mate.

I thought Wilkin walked our player of the year.
