You would have thought so,wouldn`t you? If Mason said he was going at the end of the season and he would give 100% untill then,i don`t think any of us could blame him.But if he goes now,it`s a bit of a slap in the face.After his first game against Crusaders,the guy was sensational,but since he`s been very average.On that form,he won`t be a big loss.

RE-REGISTRATION OF AN OVERSEAS PLAYER
C1:4:7 An "overseas Player" who is removed from a Club Register during the Season cannot then be placed back on that Club's Register in that same Season save with the permission of the Board.

Clutching at straws...

...if the Tongan privy council come good and the seeming strength of the Toulon link has come from repetition rather than having a solid basis, then could a de-registered overseas quota player, on becoming non-overseas quota, re-register? I think so

One more twist, one more twist!

My money is on Mason playing for rovers again before the end of May.

I'd just like to lend my support to this. If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and use the other thread.

Surely Rovers can feel hard done to that the Tongan government has fallen through?

Possibly, but simple root cause analysis shows that all this stems from the incorrect judgement on Galea's Maltese passport. If Rovers had got that right, they would have either not signed Mason to start with, or offloaded another overseas player to accommodate him. All I'm saying is that of all the parties involved here, Rovers, governments, RFL etc, Mason has seemingly done everything asked of him and come out of it the wors, at least at present, as he is effectively being restrained from plying his trade despite being fit and willing to do so. Now, maybe he's not bothered whilst he's being paid, and maybe he'll go to Toulon for a whole pile of cash so will just enjoy the summer either here or in France or back home, who knows, but whilst some are a bit huffy about it and saying things like "If he doesn't want to play for us he can sod off", I think, despite people at one time thinking he was likely to create trouble for others, it's actually not panned out like that at the moment, anyway.

But that still doesn't mean you can post whatever you want the AUP still stands

In my line of business, I wouldn't accept your root cause analysis report. You have failed to probe deep enough when concluding incorrect judgement with Galea & the Maltese passport. Before concluding (aportioning blame?) further probing is required into what went wrong in his application. Without knowing that, it cannot be assumed that Rovers misjudged the situation.
