Biggest box office draw i will admit to that one. Just a pity your box office can't accomadate the undoubted ten's of thousand's who want to turn up today but will listen on radio rovers.p.s out of a genuine intrest what crowd do you expect today is it a sell out

He was great today the way he was bouncing the ball on the touchlinr itching to get back on his ball handling skills are great and if we get our full team out together we can imo beat the best

He kept popping up on peoples shoulder for the short ball and was seen too late, could have had a try or two had those passes been made.

Really impressed with him.

Today was also the day that [iour [/ilittle Charnley puts the knife in our bitter neighbours.

Well happy today with just how Mason played but just imagine just how powerfull he will be in a couple of weeks when he learns the plays and runs the right lines with power !!!!!!!
He will be busrting tackles for fun and hopefully since he "likes"Wattsy young Liam will learn heaps this year offa Big Willie.
Oh and the most postive thing is that i think Mason enjoyed it himself ! He looked quite happy both at the beginning and at the end.
Me and the other 3 will be back again this season no doubt.

Saturday the East Stand still had 80 tickets left on sale, had the extension been finished wouldn't that number have been more like 1080? I'm not saying it isn't going to be a big draw to have the stand go the full length of the pitch, it will be one of the best terracing stands in sport especially on derby day when it is sold out.

Also I think with the horrible "fine rain that soaks you through" on Sunday morning it wouldn't have helped the walk up supporters make their minds up to leave the decorating and come along to the game! A nice, hot summers day playing against Hull, Wigan, Saints, Warrington or Leeds and we could have seen an easy 10,000+ crowd but a cold wet spring day against the newest team in professional Rugby League I don't see that an 8,600 crowd is too bad.

As for how he played, well he was IMO everything we could wish for. If Galea does retire at the end of this year (be a real shame) we will certainly still have a back row that is feared throughout. Mason and Newton running on the edges is not going to please too many half backs that I am sure of!

I just hope Mason talks O'Meley into coming to Craven Park for a couple of years to replace Vella!

Agree totally just looked at half of his posts one worders yep a bully comes to mind, can gave it but not take it.....
