Don't see why. We messed up in my opinion trying to get him in on another passport. If you want a star signing make sure you do it right. You can't dick people like that about.

Would love to know the real story behind the Mason disaster. :-S
Thankfully the club seems to have learned it's lesson since then (in one way).

Didn't he sign on the understanding he could get a Tongan passport but then got rejected for it? I think he actually went to Tonga to try get it i maybe wrong (I usually am) but when Willie got here he spent more time in pubs and clubs then anywhere else

It seems Catalaan are having the same passport problems. When he signed for Hull KR
he claimed to be waiting for a Tongan passport now he’s waiting for a Samoan passport in order to join the Dragons. Perhaps your comment about dicking him about is unfounded

From piecing little bits together, I think plan A was Galea would get a Maltese passport. When that didn't work, we asked Mason to get a Tongan one. He was entitled, iirc, but Tonga had just had elections and was going through a bit of a constitutional crisis.
Either way, I think we learned that a big name player isn't the way to smash the glass ceiling. The only way is to grind through it with hard work and hard cash. The talk of a five year plan is more realistic - that's no guarantee that it'll work, of course. And an iconic signing can still be a statement of intent, but you need to support them with a lot of other stuff.
