| I`ve been told by someone who has pretty good connections at Craven Park that Mason is off to France next week and will not play for us again.At the end of the day,
Mason has been offered a job with higher wages.He is not a Rovers supporter and how many of us would turn down a lot better paid job in the south of France a few miles away from Monaco?

Doesn`t alter the fact he has jerked you around though.Proves a contract is worth sweet f.a.

Absolutely. Mason has hardly covered himself with glory here - in fact it now looks as if he's messed Rovers about something rotten. As amusing as it is on the face of it that kind of behaviour by players isn't on in my book. I know it's a job and all that but when you enter into a contract you should be committed to fulfilling it IMO and not take the first chance that comes along to weasel out and go elsewhere.

I agree.After all we did to get him here and then what went on when he got here,i thought he might want to show some type of gratitude,but top and bottom of it is he would rather be in the South of France than Preston Road!

The thing is mate,he saw the fans reaction upon his arrivel,he knows the club has sold merchandise,he signed for 3 years.Surely he is morally bound to stay until at least the end of the season?

True but for all we know he may have been told that a Tongan passport won't be forthcoming so has spoken to Toulon with HKR's blessing (or indeed been pushed to talk to them) as they need Dobson back more than they need Mason.

He signed two years with a years option BB if and if he is going then I wud say see ya and hope the French side get his flippin passport sorted as I read it unless they have his Tongan passport which I presume has been paid for by KR then let's hope he has to go through it all again, on the flip side this cud all be total tosh

Although TBF both organisations have been saying that for some time with no noticeable progress.

it was done as a clear money making opportunity, most of the realistic fans can see this....
I`m ashamed to be a rovers fan right now.......
after 4/5 goodish years and fairly good progress made on and off the pitch and now we are back to square one...... looking foolish...'"
Why? The club is a business, they need to explore all the possibilities of bringing in players and for what ever reason things can go wrong, it will never be the Clubs intention of upsetting fans. Neil Hudgell is the most loyal Chairman in SL and he is always looking to improve this great club. He will take gambles, some pay off some dont, no big deal. No need for that if you want to continue down that road go and post on the 'other' thread-RW
If Mason is to go then so what, we will bring in some one else next season , if he stays then so be it, I am fully behind the Club and all the Directors. I like the excitment.

Well said that man
Taken from Wiki:-
"In July 2008 Williams left Australia to join French rugby union club Toulon. Canterbury Bulldogs club officials were not notified of his defection until after Williams had already departed for Europe. Williams was 18 months into a five year contract with the Canterbury Bulldogs, which was resolved when Toulon paid a transfer fee of around £300,000 to the Bulldogs".
The precedent has been set to get some serious cash here...
