I was on the phone to my young bloke two days ago and I said to him before the news broke that el masri was worth ten points a game to them ...just looked at his record 18 appearances for 180 pts.(11 tries).... bang on the money.
Ive always thought that he was a good winger positionally .......johnny on the spot type....I think his loss will diminish the scoreline by 33% (eg the 180 he scored this year would be reduced to 120pts if he hadnt been there)However they have gone the year with out a full forward pack but I think thats all coming back together so maybe they wont be that badly off bar a couple of goals a match
