Masi maybe off to Cas isn’t he?
Seems a nice kid so good luck to him. Deserves a bit of luck.

Out the two though you’d pick Fash, without a doubt.

Having watched Masimbaashe Matongo very early in his journey, I know why Radders may want him, I’ll agree he’s underperformed on his career with us so far, but he still only 25, his potential is massive, and just maybe this is one lad we should persevere with. He’s had a couple of set backs injury wise, and other issues.

I’d be inclined to invest a little longer in Massi, with Tag Big Chris, Liggi and Bowden, we can gradually introduce him, patiently in this one of the most demanding positions.

Are you sure you would keep Fash? Every time I see him play I think he is below SL par. At least Matongo makes a few yards, I don't think I've seen Fash bust a tackle. I'm not being funny but the FC fans I know agree with me

Fash made more metres this week than superstar Korbin Sims, off less carries aswell. 29 tackles to go with it, not a bad effort in comparison to Sims's 9 tackles.

Sims is atrocious.

Matongo will be lucky to get a game in the championship.

Matongo has spent hell of a lot of time injured , I'd be happy for him to go to Cas .

I honestly think unfortunately that Masi just isn’t going to make the grade. For me he’s just another Chris Green, has the size and physical attributes but just doesn’t have the aggression to go with it to run the ball in with purpose.

He’s had rotten luck with injuries but has also hardly played so sentiment aside as nice a guy as he is I wouldn’t be rushing to re sign him.

Re: Jake Connor signing : Sun Jun 13, 2021 4:51 pm  

Simms is like his brother Aston,looks the part, very passionate but very average. Rovers will be playing top dollar for him when the likes of King and Fash are playing better than him.

Re: Jake Connor signing : Sun Jun 13, 2021 4:55 pm  

FC making a fuss about him again on SM. Fingers crossed.

Not goof enough for super league doesn't run his weight

and he's 25 he's not a youngster anymore with huge injury baggage
