What Hull KR are doing has been done by many a club, I remember Hull FC doing it with Sid Domic and plenty other teams do it. It has only gained attention because it involves Willie Mason.

you think

Sid Domic's contract was well and truly canceled though, and he never re-registered or in fact played pro-RL again.

the concept of having clubs de-registering and registering players as they see fit is completely different and brings the integrity of the game and its salary cap into question.

nah...it's just because it's big willie

You play with fire and you'll get burnt

.....er, OK

Sounds a bit dodgy does this !!

If the RFL let this happen will it set e precendent for every club who has an injured player and wants to 'fit a big name' into their squad??

really?

Kick em out !!!!!!!!

On the subject of conditioning does that mean his medical rehabilitation comes under this banner?

The club obviously know more than they are willing to let on right now and for a club to de-register their best player in the knowledge that it would mean him being a free agent must have done so very cautiously.

Also because Mason has yet to play do his wages already paid still count on the cap or is it only from when he first plays a game/registered to play for HKR?

Wrong. The [ionly[/i way to de-register a player is to terminate his contract. This has also been confirmed by the RFL.

Or unwillingly...


As I understand it, as soon as he plays one game his entire salary counts.

This is a serious question for Smokey, tb, Wheels and anyone else who has ben on these boards too long
Has any Rugby League player ever attracted as many repeated posts in duplicate threads in the history of RLFANS.COM?
I am aware of the now legendary voluntary tackle thread from a few years back, but seriously, threads that contain a Willie Mason tone must be responsible for over 50% of the sites traffic.
