sheesh



don't believe the press

bet we have a younger squad than most .. check the retained players.

one thing i have learnt in my 20 plus years of being a reds fan is once at the club you learn how to look after yourself once on the field. Im sure the likes of Cashmere , Feka and Jewitt will be more of a handfull for him should he refer to his "below the belt" tactics

Trust me, Willie Mason is not to be feared. Ever since he left the Bulldogs 3-4 years ago, he's been dire. I saw hime play for the Roosters a couple of times and couldn't believe what I was watching. Yeah sure, his first game or two he may rip in against players that are scared of his reputation, but trust me, it won't take long for players to suss him out as an all mouth no action prop!

Oh what you wouldn't give for Youngy, Forber or Webster to be still playing and to give him a warm welcome next season. For that matter think Alker would have relished putting him on his ar$e.

Mason's had a fairly good season at North Queensland this year from what I've seen of him.

I've not seen that much of him, but he's not appeared in the highlights I've watched and North Queensland finished bottom (apart for Melbourne) and they didn't want to keep him.

Just ditched that keyboard ... suprised Butcher did not have a comment.

does he still look like a stuntman for the Jackson 5

Agreed not to mention his change of scenery moving from Sydney to Queensland, he's been nothing more than a bit part player in a very poor NQC side this season. They were so bad even the Sharkies finished above them.

Good assessment. The fact that he had to go to a Townsville in the first place says a lot. He's not exactly been quiet with regards to his feelings towards Queenslanders in the past. Yet due to the fact that no club in NSW wanted him, he had to up sticks and move a long way north to a very weak N-Qld side.

Talking to a guy from Queensland a few weeks back on holiday and he told me Mason is nothing like the player he was. He said he's OK at best for about 10 minutes!

And even then, not every week.

There was a funny moment at the recent match between North Queensland and Canberra. A couple of Canberra fans held up a banner that read, "Who needs a big Willie when you have a great Tongue" (Alan Tongue - Canberra hooker)

I cant wait to see his face when he gets tackled single handedly by Ratchford!

Or Gareth Owen maybe .. timberrrr

Think that Mason will be a target for every team he plays against next season, it's to be hoped we do it legally as you can't see him liking getting put on his backside and reacting and giving away silly penalties.

Mason will be targeted over here like Moz was when he went over to oz! I think he will smash it up over here and love the fact he will be targeted!

My Rooster-supporting mates in Sydney reckon Mason is the most over-rated player they've seen at the SFS in a good long while

Perfect assessment.

Clearly hasn't been watching the games properly then has he.
Mason has been looking for work in most games, and offloads regularly.
And before anyone asks, I've seen the majority of NRL games this season, not just the ones on MSK

For the money that KR are probably paying him, its a big gamble. He isn't as good as he used to be and if North Queensland, who finished bottom (not including Melbourne) don't want him then he can't be too good. Its a good publicity signing though, its a just a big gamble, one that I'm glad Salford didn't take.

Really? Funny that as I've seen two thirds of the Cowboys games this year, as well as almost half of the Roosters season in 2009 live, as I lived 10 minutes from SFS.
The Roosters are also the team of choice for my cousin. His opinion of Mason last year can't be repeated on a family message board.
Sure, he occasionally looks for work and manages to offload. This doesn't mean he produces any quality.
Perhaps me, my cousin and the vast majority of Roosters fans weren't watching him "properly." I doubt it though.

Look, Mason has become nothing more than a joke figure. All mouth and no action. Maybe a move to the UK will shake him out of his apathy but I somehow doubt this also. All the best in the play-offs Scott_HKR.

ferry between Hull and Queensland then?
