THERE is no doubt rugby league is tough old game.
And if anyone ever doubted that, just look at the war wounds of Leigh prop Nathan Mason sustained in last night's derby clash with Wigan.
A bloodied nose may be part and parcel of the tough front row trade, but Mason soldiers on as he looks to get attention for his dislocated finger.
It is not for the squeamish.
