Keith Mason player of the year : Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:25 pm  

after seing Mason playing at the weekend i decide to check out his SL sats and was amazed at how good they were. I tried to copy all of the Giants props to compare but it was beyond my technical ability. if anyone can do it it makes interseting reading. here is a link but he has done DOUBLE the work of Jackson. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics_player ... eason=2009 He really is outstanding this season.

He's easily had the most game time of all the props so far but he's justified it with his performances.

Sunday was probably the best I've ever seen him play, full stop. No matter what shirt he's been wearing, it was the best I've seen from him.

I've been saying for 2 or 3 weeks now that so far he is the player of the season.

Well done, Keith.

Yes it says that he is the 8th best metre maker in superleague.Good work from the kid he seems to be pulling up trees for the club.

And Cas aside he's really cleaned up his act penalty wise.

Mate he is a frontrower FFS what do you expect,you would not want him playing like some big pansy props give penalties away end of story .

He's giving away less than he did last season. That is good. It needn't involve any pansiness at all, perhaps a bit more nouse though. Either way, well done to him!

Got to agree with Danril here. No need for dumb penalties, especially when we have possession. That aside, Mason deserves the plaudits on performance so far.

according to the stats he has only given away 5 penalties in 6 games which works out at 0.8% penalties per game. For a hard working prop that is pretty good.

Lets hope he does not get sent off for clobbering Hock on Friday
