Yes I do mate.The memories are wonderful things,but the buzz after winning is something special.

Saviour it while you can because the return derby won't be so easy for u at craven park

Love derby days win, lose or draw, I always have a pint or two with me Rovers mates in Soccer sensations or three crowns down are end and the banter is spot on two.

More than ever, I'm convinced that the phrase "[iThe Mail understands[/i" is coded language for "[iWe made it up[/i". This belief is always doubled if Charlie Mullen has any involvement in the story.

With nothing coming out of the club for a few days, [i I understand [/ithat somebody is under pressure to justify their wages!

Why would special dispensation be needed if Mason did get his Tongan passport? There's nothing new in that.

Let's remember that Mason hasn't been refused his passport. It's been approved, just not issued due to some slight mis-steps on the way to Tongan democracy.

Are Rovers looking to offload? To Toulon or otherwise? If they are it would be clear they aren't anticipating a Passport anytime soon. However, if not, it's a bloody expensive wait!
The whole saga is embarassing from an administration point of view. But I've never got the impression Mason wanted to be here. Even if his passport comes I don't see him staying long.

Because he's been de-registered and would need dispensation from the RFL board to be re-registered this season - as was granted in Dobson's case. The tone of the RFL statement following Mason's de-registration seemed a little huffy and gave the impression that the permission required would not be so readily forthcoming this time around.

We have a player being paid who can't play until either his passport comes through (supposedly May, but it has been just around the corner for several months) or he moves on. Having come this far, I'd be willing to wait, as long as we are sure he can be re-registered once the passport arrives - that is my interpretation, but it doesn't mean it is right. It's a coping mechanism, but I'd just look at the misfortune with the political problems in Tonga (which has just had its first semi-democratic elections) as being similar to niggling injury that is difficult to assess. There is a legitimate discussion to be had about due diligence, but nobody saw this particular problem coming.

If he can't be re-registered, then there is little sense in keeping him - or his staying, if he has other options.

Mason did a pretty convincing impression of committed IMO - but the money Toulon could chuck at him would be likely to turn his head, I'd think. They've acknowledged contacting his agent, but no deal is imminent according to their managerhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/apr/21/michael-dobson-willie-mason-hull-krrl

Wait and see - but I do think there is at least an evens chance that the HDM have jumped the gun.
