Quote: SirStan "Lets face it, even when he was here, all he showed was that we are better off when Matt Cook is on the pitch! With the re-birth of Cook, the imminent return of Newton and the emergence of Taylor & Cox, we look to be well stocked with back rowers for the next few years. I would like to get Galea on for another year, as he has been quality again this season.

As for big Willie, well bon voyage. Several of us commented during games, that he was playing like a man desparate not to get injured. Now we know why. I think Rovers messed up from the start on this one, and lets hope there are some lessons learned. Put his salary into securing the likes of Scott Taylor on a 3 year deal and invest in our youth. This approach will get the respect of Rovers fans and start to rebuild our tarnished reputation within the game.

Another up & down week in the life of a Rovers supporter! Its never dull in East Hull.'"


Very good post, you are now my favourite Rovers poster, saying that cabman is 2nd icon_wink.gif

I know a couple of clubs including Hull are sniffing around taylor, so Rovers need to get him tied up soon (which I expect they will).

Where has Jordan Cox come from? Am haering good things about him, some good young backrowers in the city at the moment.

I commented when he first got here he would be a targetted player,the likelyhood of it happenning must have been a high percentage.

Think your never dull comment should be
"Never dull in `Ull" and made into a banner. icon_smile.gif

I personally think Mason was treated badly by Rovers , i lay no blame on him whatsoever , Hudge got it wrong bigtime.
I find it a tad embarrassing tbh .

Thank the lord he has gone at the end of the day Rovers were warned not to touch him with a barge pole and all that was said about him has come true.In his defence if someone offered you the money he is supposedly going to get then he cant refuse it, but he should never have taken the pxxxs out of rovers and there supporters an ex player of rovers in australia once said it was a black day for HKR when they signed Big Willy and it has turned out true

Only concellation we have saved the biggest part of his contract, I am led to believe

How exactly did he do that?

Bit harsh, I agree it hasn't worked out and for a number of reasons and in the end he's gone to RU, but I think there was urine being extracted from all sides and we aren't exactly blameless.
In the long run I think this'll be for the best, I thought it was looking bleak when he was actually playing for us but still seemed to spend more time in the pub then Jimmy Bullard did when he was at City.
I got the feeling he destabilised us as a unit and if we can learn that big names very rarely live up to there billing then it may have been a lesson worth having.

If anybody had bothered about checking the news about him in Australia and the reputation he had earned then none of this would have been a surprise. It is exactly the same as what he had been doing there and is the reason he was no longer wanted in the NRL. But of course anyone who said that when he signed was a Hull FC fan jealous of the biggest Super League signing ever. icon_lol.gif

TBF if you get the rugby playing Mason he is a sensational player and maybe he is one of those that can go out on the lash and still perform on match day. I actually said I'd have liked to have seen him leather someone but just never seemed that up for it.
As for big name signings I still think Hull got stung this way with Berrigan, another one that seemed more interested in being on the lash than performing to the billing he came with.

To be fair we did get some good performances out of Berro,but I agree he didn`t hit the heights expected of him I.M.O.

On the contrary. Despite his previous antics he was being roundly praised by the Cowboys' support for his attitude and his performances.

Well the Cowboys management obviously didn't think that way as they made no real effort to retain him after yet another club Mason joined immediately ended up rock bottom.

And are you sure that all the fans loved him? That's a big call as it paints them as being as ignorant and blinkered as you are.

About 5 years ago Mason suffered a fairly serious leg injury, since then he hasn't been anywhere near as good on the field. Before that he was a truly fearsome player, huge and quick, and so good that his always poor off field behaviour could be tolerated. After that the off field damage he causes hasn't been able to be excused by credits earned on the pitch. The tearaway Willie Mason is gone forever and has been for a long while now.

Given that you don't know me but choose to make that statement I would suggest that you are the ignorant one.

With apologies for bringing the other code into your board.

He's in the RU backs this weekend.

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyunion/ ... ml&BID=504

The Toulon boss has either a massive bank account or effluent for brains. Probably both.
He expects Mason to play in Gavin Hensons position, now that they've given henson the boot.

Sunday's game could be very funny indeed.
