the soft shyt

Just read that on twitter. Looks likely dobbo will be reregistered and Mason shipped out. Gutted,would have loved him back.just what we need at the mo with the the worst kicking game in the league.

My dad saw Mason at Manchester Airport the other week, I'm guessing he was going to meet the right people....

In other words it's not about ours, it's about yours. Again.

Well that looks like thats the end of that pipedream.

The most bafflinf part of that article on sporting life about Mason is the part saying he's going to play centre for Toulon! If thats the case literally anybody could get a gig playing Union somewhere.

Hull KR must be relieved, best thing that could happen to them is to get Dobson back and Mason out imo

For sure.

Mason has looked un-interested to me and with the money the guy must be on it seems a blessing in disguise for HKR. They could use his money very wisely if the right players become available.

I think that's more of an indication of how barmy Saint-Andre is compared to the standard of RU centres.

Mason is not good enough to play at the level needed in Union, may do it for a few weeks as he has done for the last 4/5 years in League. He can't compare to SBW who now looks a super Union player and probably will start in the World Cup with the ALL Blacks and you don't do that if you can't play.

However for Hull KR they in my view were crazy to go for him, the sooner they get rid the better. Doesn't this make Sky look silly if the rumors are correct, comments such as "the biggest signing for Super League a true superstar" etc., do they really watch what is going on and more importantly understand this in the world of Rugby League. They have been so head in the sand with the English (sorry European) game that that have totally ignored developments elsewhere. As a result of "the we are world class" etc. descriptions that we have been given for so many years and maybe just recently tempered down a bit situation we are now miles behind what is going on in Australia and going backwards.

This is very sad and if we further just look at what a brand new Australian coach achieved with Wigan in 1 season surely we should take a long hard look at our game and not keep pretending how good it is. We were a better spectacle and much closer to being able to compete 15 years ago and certainly at that time Union could not compare. Unfortunately we have gone backwards and they have moved on and Super League is not very super and our crowds now don't even compare to Union where 15 years ago the opposite applied.

if true Mason will go a storm in union at inside centre. Good option for him easy money will have to do half the work and will be twice as effective.

He will be used as a battering ram in exactly the same way he is in League, playing on his size power and offload.

explains why he played most of the last 20 on Friday stood near George Carmont.. wanted to watch a class centre up close.

I agree with you. Unfortunately we are in a minority; most people in RL won't face reality.

Quite possibly one of the most bizzare posts I have ever read

Correct.
