Moved Thread Chris Masten- 200 Games

[Luuuc]

200 is a great achievement. Had some nice moments tonight. Congrats Masto.

 

[caspian]

Thought he was great tonight, fair play to the dude. Ran his ass off and his disposals were crisp. Happy 200 CM

 

[wce4premiership]

Did love the tackle of someone over the line, no ****ing about just got it done.

 

[the harry]

Was there every time a team mate needed an out in the opposite pocket.

Kicking again good, particularly going I50.

Sure he's a role player, but it's an important one.

Most fashionable player in the game?

I like the boy.
Well played. Masto. Well deserved 200. Rose above all the negativity and that takes guts.

 

[JackDoff]

I get all the animosity but do you guys even know how he is thought of by non Eagle supporters? he is a laughing stock...enough said.

You are the s**tstain. Masto is highly rearded by his team mates and Simmo. So just **** off.

 

[JackDoff]

It hurts aw diddums, these would be the same supporter group who idolized Shaun Mcmanus and Clive Moorhouse, er Waterboy, er Whitehouse or whatever his name was.

Shite house

He was excellent tonight. Smith did well in the last but Masten was a class above him for the most part. Good problem to have.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

He turned the ball over a lot tonight still.

Was at the game and his disposal was very good tonight.

 

[Ishmael_]

He turned the ball over a lot tonight still.

So many players turned the ball over tonight. I thought his crisp delivery far outweighed any hurried turnover.

Solid 200. He's a club player and it takes all sorts. Masten is a great outlet option, his run and spread is critical.

We all know he’s a great runner, but it isn’t until you see it live you can see what that means for our movement.

The passage of play towards the very end of the game, where we took the piss chipping around for about five minutes before moving forward for a goal, was kickstarted by Masten. He’s hip to hip with his opponent on the far wing, the Eagles kick back inside defensive 50, suddenly Masten is 20m clear of his opponent and the switch is on. The fact that a 179cm, 75 odd kilo bloke is our best outlet option is staggering, and yet he’s worked his tail off to make it happen. There’s nobody on our list I’d rather delivering the ball to a lead inside 50 (well, maybe Jetta).

**** the haters. The things he does well, he does brilliantly. As long as we continue to facilitate those things while minimising his flaws, we’ve got nothing to worry about.

Good game tonight , well done Masto ...

First half was horrid - second half much improved

Two of the most maligned players on our list amongst the mouth breathers too

You're absolutely right though

 

[TY24]

The entire team butchered up the ball for periods, not just Masto.

The whipping boy campaign against him is so incredibly boring.

 

[JCHolmes]

When he kicked that goal on his left and was genuinely surprised. When he had 40 touches in a game. Oh yeh and when he was a premiership winning eagle who played 200 games.

 

[eagles rule]

What are the chances of Masto getting to 250 games now ??

Or does he just retire as a 2 X Premiership player at WCE end of year ..

Well I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a girl, who owns a dog, and that dog once barked something that sounded eerily similar to "I ****ing wish".

He’ll hang them up about 220-230 I’d think. He’ll probably lose his spot in the best 22 this year but I imagine he’d be the first call up to cover for injury/suspension

With the new 6 6 6 Rules Masten''s role seems to have expanded this season.
The Coaches seem to have playing deeper in defense and be the go to guy when transitioning out of the backline.
His precision kicking and quick hands make him even more valuable than previously seen.
No one can question his running ability and I personally love what he brings to the team.
He has his critics but most role players do.

 

[wce4premiership]

Can't see why he wouldn't just keep signing 1 year deals even if he's depth, say he is a low earner he can earn 200-300k a year you'd be crazy not to. Doesn't get injured much.
