It really doesn't, but you carry on.

Its the Hull KA fans I feel sorry for. Imagine the embarassment they now have to suffer for the way they acted when the signing was announced. How great they had now become, how their club could attract the calibre of player of Mason. Now hes realised what a mistake it was and confirmed what everyone else knew at the time.

I hope Hull KA at least refund anyone who bought a shirt with his name on it.

Quote: PHIPPS "He has been one of if not the worst EVER signing made by any superleague club.

I admit I used to quite like Mason in his Bulldogs days. Good aggressive player etc etc. He was poor at the Cowboys and the Roosters but I hoped he would do well at Hull. I doubt he really cares but he should be ashamed for coming to Superleague and producing the sort of cráp he has done.

The sport will be better off without him in it.'"

icon_eek.gif Completely agree with you Phipps,this has to be a first. icon_razz.gif

Quote: Erik the not red "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.'"


Your name says a lot about you "Erik the not Red" icon_rolleyes.gif
Have you ever met Neil & spoken to him then?

Quote: ComeOnYouUll "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.'"


He spoke to Toulon BEFORE he was de-registered.

Player in speaking to another club while under contract shocker.

One has to ask, where was Hudgells righteous indignation when Cooke was sniffing around at rovers a few years back. eusa_think.gif

He was perfectly entitled to.

The RFL's Operational Rules prevent registered players approaching other RL clubs (or clubs approaching registered players). There's nothing to stop a player speaking to a RU club.

Unless you're party to the terms of the player's contract that's pure speculation.

The RFL's Operational Rules state

Quote: Contacted Club "A Contract Player or a Conditional Contract Player or anyone acting on his behalf shall
not be entitled to approach another Club (the "Contacted Club"icon_wink.gif until 1st September
prior to the expiry of his current contract but the Contacted Club shall not respond in
any way whether directly or indirectly (which shall include statements made to the
media) without first receiving the consent of such Player's Club and such consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Where such consent is withheld the Club
wishing to make the approach may appeal to the RFL who shall be the final arbitrator.
Both clubs shall have the opportunity to make submissions to the RFL in the timescale
set by the RFL. From 1st September prior to the expiry of his current contract a Player
shall be entitled to enter into a contract with a Club subject to the compensation rules
set out in these Operational Rules.'"


"Club" is defined as

Quote: Contacted Club "any Member which is a Rugby League Club and any other Rugby League
Football club or other body which may be invited to join the RFL from time to time in
accordance with these Bye Laws'"


There is no way that Rovers can prevent him from contacting a potential new employer.

I guess we'll see if they sue him.
