Well if that is his attitude, I hope he finds himself living in very interesting times. He needs to be very careful what he wishes for.

Wouldn't it be a terrible terrible shame for him if he signed for Hull KR just as Hudgell stops bankrolling the club?

And feel free to be depressed on your own time. For me, it just shows him for an uninformed big head in my book.

money will definitely speak louder than anything else. "A fair crack of winning the title" could mean finishing in the playoffs?

His wheels would get stuck in the mud in early February.

And I believe he has signed for Saints.

If we genuinely did show some interest in signing Mason, that means the club is (probably) already aware of one of our current quota players leaving at the end of the season.

Or they were just exploring other options. Much like me on Football Manager where I bid for 10 players, negotiate with them all and then just finalise the one I decide I want and cancel the rest.

Wouldn't read too much into it, but it does suggest the club are certainly considering losing one.

Translation:


Personally it came as a surprise to me that Mason was still playing.

Why wouldn't any club be aware of them?

Usually a player's agent contacts all clubs when the player he's representing is available. This often leads to speculation that a club is "talking to" a player when all that's happened is that the club has received notice that someone is available. They're just touting him around and seeing who bites.

He sounds like a right c***. The others are welcome to him.

Willie isn't a rocket scientist that's clear. His choice of words I'm sure, are largely shuffled around to suit the media narrative.

The fact is, he is an outstanding player and one who will play with that raw stupidity whomever he turns out for.

It will likely be at either Giants, HKR or Rhinos, but if he considered Odsal, he would be most welcome. And an incredible marketing asset.

Awesome player, would be a welcome addition to Bulls for me and a coup for any SL club.

If he's in the right frame of mind he'd be a top signing, but can't see us getting him. He'd want a lot of cash. Prob just a ruse to get a new deal in the NRL.
