Nice to see Rovers handled the Visa application well, we didn't want a Crocker gate did we

BIG WILLIE !!! Biggest signing in the history of rugby league in the city, well done Rovers.

The 24-cap Australian international will join up with the Robins for the start of the 2011 campaign, subject to a successful medical and visa application.
"The club's policy is normally to wait until all the relevant paperwork has been completed, but such is the magnitude of this signing we felt it important that the fans were the first to be informed by their club and I'm certain this will fill them with great excitement."

Oh the hypocrisy. Loving it, loving it, loving it.

I think you're being unkind, frankly. Rovers have had a couple of very clear principles on this subject the last couple of years:
1) Announcing signings before the end of the season is selling the fans short. The season should be about the here and now. Direct comments from your chairman's matchday programme notes, in the context of Hull FC announcing signings early.
2) Signings will not be announced until all the paperwork is complete, to avoid a Crocker/Eastwood/Bird etc scenario.

Yet now you've finished 3 places below where you did last season, there's no movement on the East Stand, let alone the North, and the season pass discount period is about to end, all these principles are merrily abandoned, with the unbelievable excuse that the club wants to get the fans excited. If you can't see this extreme hypocrisy for what it is, you're not quite playing with a full deck.

and mrs b spends too much time on our board,

i welcome big willie

OWNED!!!!!!!

My hopes are still on hold for now untill his full clearance comes through, the player and his agent must be confident of this.

Years ago we could have only dreamed about signing a player like Mason, now through people like Hudgell and Crossland and all others who have made this happen, we owe a huge thankyou.

Yep, the good old aussie press who have said his lucrative deal is for 3 years
