Aye, the most high profile player in RL apparently according to a certain someone so what does that make Rovers handling of this situation now? Also the guy that reported the proposed move to France originally knew nothing as a certain someone was in the same press conference.

I fear (well ,not really) that there is a moderator spat developing.

How do we respond to this?

No spat, just making a comment.

Carry on regardless.

I've been thinking too, If we assume Mason had been talking to Toulon even before he came to Hull KR because he'd heard he could earn four times as much and Hull kR got wind of this. He then admitted this to the KR board once it broke and they told him he could do what he likes as he wasn;t going to be paid as he was in breach of his original contract, he was de-registered and he continued in his talks with RU.

Now what I've done there is very similar to what you've done which is just make it up to suit my own ends. (a very common trait amongst most of the FC fans I know).
O'Meley's comments are probably fair that Mason is feeling 'pretty dirty' about it all, he probably thought he could get out of all this looking like the injured party but unluckily for him he was caught out.
Yes HKR have made a pigs ear of this but I think you'll find the RL community has more disdain for WM than they do for HKR.

As I said earlier on this thread him playing for the barbarians this week is nothing short of laughable and I can see him making a complete mess of this as well.

I unintentionally lit your blue touch paper there, sorry. I was really pleased with the chin comment. Given, you know, Mason is well endowed in this respect.
I agree with your sentiments, but for your own safety don't disrespect O'Meley. PFU's Jonny Forriner of 2010, black boots and lunge action to die for. Me and Wormy are his virtual minders.

Well, considering he's the 'Tongan' Jimmy Hill, he could take the whole of Fleet Street on it!

It seems to have been forgotten that mason touted himself as been able to get a tongan passport and come of quota , rovers could not have gone for him otherwise. Yes rovers have made a big =#FF0000Edit-RW up and got sucked in . So to say mason has been hard done by is laughable and if everything had gone to plan and mason arrived pre-season with passport could any of you say hand on heart that he would not still have talked to toulon

Good post that.

Apart from the fact that Mason was signed as a quota player and was only asked to get a Tongan passport because Rovers messed up over Galea becoming Maltese. Then, due to Rovers inadequacies in the administration department he was de registered meaning he could no longer ply his trade or sign for another rugby league club.

Nobody knows whether he would have spoken to Toulon or not even if things had gone smoothly, so yes, other than being totally wrong, great post.

Difficult to remember something that never happened.

I'd naturally assume a man of your pedigree to be able to back up that statement...........................

does paul cooke spring to mind

Anyone watched Boots n All tonight.............

Missed it,owt interesting?

Ah yeah stevo loves KR and thinks Big Willie is a conman and a total rip off..........

PMH seems to have summarised the actual happenings more than adequately.

More Willie Mason "reaction" in the HDM tomorrow. Ooh.

Yeah he is switching on our new tele

Re-signed on improved terms, dependent on his French passport coming through

Na tks better team without him

You and that Rag have got something in common - you both need your a$$es banning.

A simple NO would have sufficed.

So what are you after? Links to the original press articles and/or club statements? It's all in the public domain and I'm not saying anything even slightly controversial.

Speaking for everyone now me.
You meant to say, "no worries my Worcestershire chum".
I do wish people would stop shouting my name.

That would be me then.



I stand by that opinion about Mason's profile and i have already commented on this thread that Rovers should take the blame for it going wrong.

I recall saying nothing was said in the press conference to suggest Mason was heading to France but now he has so Wayne was spot on fair play to him.
It hasnt happened overnight but in all probability was a deal already when the Derby was played.

Forums are for giving opinions and adding to debate.
Some people in their time have suggested that Morgan would be St Helens coach with Peter Fox heading there also and that Craig Fitzgibbon would have been a good signing for Hull 5 years ago but not around the time they signed him.
If people didnt offer opinions then not much would happen on these forums.
Not everyone is going to be correct all of the time.

Its for the best that Mason has gone, Rovers played with fire and got burnt.
People said it would happen, some more in hope then expectation i expect but it will soon be fish and chip paper and lessons hopefully have been learned not only by Rovers but by the RFL also.

You have just offended Cabbie and Puggie,big style.
