Picture: Bernard Platt FORMER Saints and Hull KR prop Mose Masoe has opened up about the severity of his paralysis as a fund-raising initiative gets under way on both sides of the world. The 31-year-old Samoa international suffered a career-ending and life-changing spinal injury 14 months ago while playing for Rovers in a pre-season friendly. Masoe damaged two vertebrae in an innocuous tackle but within months astounded doctors who warned he may never walk again by taking a few unaided steps. However, he has now been diagnosed tetraplegic, which means he has partial or total loss of use of all four limbs and torso. He can still walk only a few steps on his own and has no sensation or dexterity in his hands.
