Was with the roosters... then panthers... then ESL...
Nicknamed the smiling assassin for a reason!!!
The guy is a bulldozer with charges... he is the one im most looking forward to see wearing the red V.
Some dont rate him, thats there opinion.
But i think at his best he will be one of the best buys we have made in quiet a while.

Mate , he tore the Burgess boys a new ' ringer ' back in the old dart .Admittedly that was a few years ago , however , with a pair of hands that size , you certainly would not want to annoy him .

If fully fit, this guy will bring a new element to our game.

One we havent had for a while... Intimidation and sheer size /power.

Add a fully fit Packer to the squad, and we have a great pack. Waited too long to see this guy don the Red V. I for one cant wait...

Fully agree with you TruSaint , when I first heard that he had signed with the Dragons , I was over the moon , could not wait to see the man run out in the Big Red V .

Unfortunately the knee injury ruin any chance for him in 2016 , as I like yourself and I am sure many others could see the beginning of a big ,tough forward pack .
In that regard I did feel for Mary as he would had been thinking along the same lines , but instead we went through a year of misery .

Hopefully he shall remain well and build his confidence , by playing in the Cutters until he is ready for the top grade , then we will have a very mobile forward pack .

Yes Gareth... i aree 100%.

It was a cruel injury to be sure. Having watched him play, and knowing our obvious deficiencies, his presence alone will command some respect by attracting defenders. Has a great off load, hits the line hard and is a great defender. With all our issues, to me... he is a shining light. I noticed Rusty looked hungry as well. Add him, Sims, Vaughan etc.. and we are not short up front.

Do we have other issues.. yes. But this thread is about Masa.

When was that? The Burgess were all in Australia before masoe made the move to the super league.
No offence to the dragons fans but I think you guys overate the guy a bit, his always been a fringe 1st grader struggling for game time. The best comparison would be to the Burgess twins. Capable of making big bullocking runs now and then but usually struggles with all other aspects of being a prop.

I too was thrilled when we signed him and devastated when he didn't even play a game. He runs with aggression and that is what we need. He tackles well and can offload. Put him with Packer, Sims, Vaughan and a revitalised JDB and things might just look up a little. Hope he remains injury free!! It would be devastating if he got hurt playing for the Cutters.

Matey, I must confess that I did exaggerate a tinnsy little bit . However the game that I was referring to was a international against , I believe Samoa .

It was either Tom or George ( those two look so much alike they could easily be mistaken for twins ) that went charging full-steam at the defence . Big Mose hit him so hard that he bounced of him and landed somewhere in Disneyland !

Do forgive me for exaggerating , however when your club is at such a low ebb , I believe that stretching the truth just a little bit wont harm anyone .

I think the game you are referring to is coming back to me. The old dart bit threw me out a bit because I think the game was a 4n game in Brisbane in 2014. He had a good game and did take it to the twins.
