Who would you prefer Anasta or Mason?

[MightySharks]

As the Dogs look like keeping Mason and losing Anasta do you agree with thier choice. Who is more valuable to the Dogs?

 

[bulldog]

I said this earlier in the year, we will regret losing either one as both have thier best footy ahead of them.

I honestly can't split them, Braith has always been a solid defender and is developing a potent attacking game to compliment it and Masons game is always improving. I want both.

 

[MightySharks]

I think Anasta as he is you 5/8 and a ball player. I think he will go to the roosters and brush souths

 

[Dogaholic]

Our forward pack without injuries is very impressive(with or without Mason). It is great to have him here for another 4 years. But I think Anasta is the more valuable player.

 

[insider]

i personally think nonme of them

they should have signed matt orford and ryan o hara

and fit them both in
rather than just
mason

 

[bulldog]

I'm hoping Hodges phone call still rings in his ears and he brushes the Roosters on general principle.

A dog having principles...now that's funny!!!

Chook.

I hope Anasta goes to Souths,Well Done to the Dogs for holding onto Mason and not letting the Transit Loungue getting a hold of him.

 

[THE MINGSTER]

I would choose Anasta. The Dogs haven't had the services of Mason this year, and still have done well. But without Anasta, they would lose one of their major strike weapons. I just wish the Warriors could snap him up somehow....

 

[avsterooster]

give us anasta, the roosters need anything that resembles a 5/8

 

[axie]

Anasta. Without Braith in the side there is just far too much pressure on Sherwin to perform for every moment of every game. Mason would've been a big loss, but when you have a pack consisting of Asotasi, O'Meley, William, Ryan, Myles and Matua I don't think it would be the end of the world.

I think Souths will have their new playmaker, captain and goal kicker signed in a few weeks time.

 

[Beaches Boy]

Both are great players. I am a little concerned about how Mason will come back from a serious knee injury it will not be easy for such a big guy. Anasta seemed to enjoy his stay at brookie on Sunday, would love to see him make it his permanent home.

 

[gregstar]

i'd have anasta. he'd replace timmins at lock. he, head, barrett & hornby all floating around the scrumbase would be lethal.

mason is a moving headline that attracts unwanted attenton. his ADHD would be trotted out weekly.

 

[wittyfan]

There should be an option for neither.

 

[Munky]

Anasta for Penrith after 06.

Mason would look good on our wing though...

We've lost more games than we've won. I wouldn't say that we're fairing too well without Mason, considering we were premiers last year with Mason. His absence is not the only reason for our poor form, but he's definately a big part of it.

 

[Rammo]

Bulldogs likely lineup in 2006 :
Patten
El Masri
Phelps
Tonga
Utai
Hughes
Sherwin
O'Meley
Perry
Asotasi
Mason
Ryan (C)
Grimaldi

Maitua
Williams
Myles
Armit

Pretty sure that team could win the comp

 

[MightySharks]

Halves look a bit shaky especially with Folkes shifting 'Shifty" to the bench last week and Hughes is a bits and pieces player ( a good one at that)

 

[Rammo]

Sherwin will relish that forward pack, he's a confidence player and his confidence is down right now, he will come through.

 

[ibeme]

I'm more confident of signing Anasta too now, but not too confident.

They don't seem to have thrown everything at Mason, and they're hopefully in a position now where they can throw a bit more at Anasta. At least they know how much they can throw at Anasta now, whereas before they may have had to hold back a bit due to the uncertainty surrounding Mason.
