Looks like he's playing clubs against each other and holding out for the best deal, 3yr and £110,000 a year..

rlHERE!rl

Not worth the hassle, unrest & wages though IMO...

I would pull out now if I was leading the negotiations for Rovers. He's just taking the pi$$. 110K + "extras" - anyone care to speculate what that might mean?

Car, house etc?

Seems like an idiot before he's even arrived over here! Really hoping we stay clear now, he wouldn't be interesting in coming here if his best days weren't behind him (let's face it - the NRL is years ahead of SL), it's a paid holiday rather then a 'new challenge' IMO.
Keep developing guys like Watts Rovers, the way to go...

Maybe a trophy bonus, reaching a certain amount of apperence? Tbh £110,000 isn't that much.

Realistically though the likes of ourselves & Huddersfield are probably a few years away from a trophy though. FTR I can see Wigan starting to dominate with those 3 Melbourne players adding to their already great squad.

Not really roofs any side out of the top eight could get to wembley with a good draw then it's 80 mins.

Leeds and saints are in slight transitional periods and wire will be as strong so i can't see a Wigan domination yet.

Not too sure but the last time I enquired on extras it only cost in the region of£40 so this should not cost the club too much more.Btw who is the masseur at rovers?

They've asked me to do weekly sock puppet shows, I'm holding out for £7.53 and a packet of Refreshers per gig as Mason insists on me doing it in an Aussie accent and the elocution lessons are costing me a fortune.

Just shorten every word and make every sentence sound like a question.

I would pull out the deal if he aint careful he could lose interest from all 3 clubs wonder if the other club is now FC to be honest i would rather see Wheeldon staying than Mason, okay he is a good player, not the player he used to be though, all the others we have from Aus are they here with all the extras to, bit of a P!ss take going on..........

We haven't got room ranga.

The extras have got to be pretty significant. Now the cap's gone up in Aus, I struggle to believe that Mason would come here for £110k. Newton, Dobson, Clinton, Webster, (plus Berro, Fitz, O'Meley, Long ), all supposedly on more than that and regardless of Mild Rover's discrediting at The Daily Telegraph as a "source", less than half of what Orford is supposed to be getting.

His agent is still banging on about him not counting as overseas, though.

The article says something about the 3rd club having been up there recently or some such. Most likely the new model bratfut, at a guess, but it could be Hull - you seem to be shedding props at a rate of knots.
