I half agree with you Bob. They're not starting team NRL material. But bench players ? More than adequate.
I don't think Tooves had any intention of starting with Mason and Burgess but injuries have forced his hand. Mason was effective last year coming off the bench for the Nots and I thought he'd be handy for us as well in the same capacity. It'd be handy, though, if he'd stop coughing it up on the first tackle of the game.
