Hopefully there's still a nasty court case to come yet regarding unpaid money and alleged contract breaches. Still all this embarrassment couldn't happen to a more deserving person than the poor excuse for a human being that HKA's chairman is.

Then he can look back on his career and see how he had six good years and the rest of it was a wasted opportunity.

A waste of space. Good riddance.'"

It does pain me to say it but...






Totally agree with you icon_smile.gif

Mason has been messed about far more than a player with his reputation deserves.
Rovers signed a quota player when they had no quota spot. Mason then went out of his way by travelling to Tonga to get a passport allowing Rovers to get him in on another technicality. The Tongan passport didn't materialize , again not Masons fault. Then by Dobsons injury Rovers eyed an opportunity to get him over by asking for special dispensation to de-register Dobson and get Mason over to help recoup some of the investment (wages) they'd already made. Hoping that by the time Dobson was fit again his passport would have arrived. It didn't and Mason was unceremoniously dumped on the de-registered list.
Don't blame him for talking to Toulon and he now has a nice 7 figure salary in yawnion.
You reap what you sow.

We stopped his wages for a reason. That tells enough in this whole sorry affair.

To be fair to Mason, he is at the end of his career and tied down with a 2/3 year contract at Rovers. It was uncertain whether he would play this year at all.

If I was him I would be looking for compensation from Rovers on top of his wages for keeping him out of action and de-valuing his worth.

The fact that HKR thought they HAD to sign him in the 1st place speaks volumes about the game in this country.

Perhaps they may learn from this escapade but somehow I doubt it.

What has he done wrong?

The blame for this complete shambles lies with Hull KR and the RFL.

Mason was prepared to change his nationality for Rovers, they then duly deregister him to bring back golden boy. One can hardly blame him for talking to Toulon. He was prohibited from approaching another RL club but not a club from another sport.

He probably could not wait to get away from the whole shambles. He's trebled his salary to boot.

Quote: paulwalker71 "Your link is three weeks out of date.

We might have been interested in looking at the idea then.... but we are not interested now.

And, for the record, we do have a spare quota spot. Just not for Willie Mason

Good riddance to the loser IMO'"

Actually we don't have a quota spot until Jeffries uk passport comes through in june/july

Jesus Christ.

Would you want him at YOUR club?

I feel a bit sorry for Hull KA.. this has to be the worst signing by any club in the whole of Superleague




**EDIT**

I don't mean would you want Jesus Christ at your club although that would be quite a signing.'"

No need for that. eusa_naughty.gif Thankfully Willie's shot off anyway. icon_eek.gif icon_lol.gif

Without the distraction of him I'm sure we can get back to doing what we do best - owning the Dullers... eusa_whistle.gif icon_lol.gif icon_wink.gif icon_smile.gif
