I'll take a wrap on the knuckles and say he was poop early doors this season, then when he got injured it was told he was playing on 60%, knowing the Vella we all know than this is why he was so. A fully fit Micheal Vella would walk into ANY team in SL, you can tell when he is on the pitch, as we seem to make more yards, meters, tackles, breaks, offloads, tries! he just gives the whole team a lift. I suppose if you put it into Joe Publics working day, its the equivelent of your boss taking 4 weeks holiday, and giving no cover, some people/players go lost with no true leadership!

I was very impressed with Mick Vella today.
Hard to believe he is 33.
Definately the stand out player in todays game. Always looked like he was going to bust through Leeds defence (which admittedly was poor)
Am I alone in thinking Willie Mason isn't as good as he was cracked up to be though?

I hope so.
I thought he would be a lot more aggressive than he has been.
Did you see when he was almost 'spear tackled' today?
As soon as that happened I thought 'uh oh... it's on here'
But nothing.

your right Vella was quality, and Mason WILL come good, given time he will come good, i want to see him off the bench for his impact, maybe when Newtons back this may happen

I hope you are right. I just think it looks like a bit of the fire has gone out of Masons belly.
I want to see him making big metres by smashing through defences and not standing for any shiit like he is known for.
