That's a load of BS though isn't it.

If the Wigan team now was full of youngsters from our academy in the exact same position, 0 from 3, they'd still get the same amount of grief IMO. Playing for Wigan, you'll always be under pressure because for some fans it's all about winning. I just wish Noble next season, that's if he's in charge, would replace some of the off contract Aussies with some of our youth. i.e Mossop for Bailey, Ainscough for Phelps etc. It wont happen though. We all know it.

howver he did have experience at half back and in the back row which gave him some ball handling and kicking skills. he also had a little bit of pace left. Mason has been a big barge up the middle prop all his career. Or iiit a case that if one player does it then all can.

maybe Feka will switch to RU and turn out for samoa at centre

Mason is exactly what we need and i'd love him at Wigan. His would be one of the most sought after signatures in world rugby tho.

One player who is defiantly worth breaking the bank over imo

I remember people saying that Kurt Sorsenson would never play centre - but he did, for about three matches (which doesn't prove much, I know).

Personally I'm not sure Mason has the skills to play centre. Jonh tends to know his stuff re. RU running backs, but I can't see it myself.

That said, if Mason does leave the Roosters, it's impossible to see him coming to SL. He's a money-bags merchant, and we haven't got any.

Correct. If we have to have foreigners, only the very best please.

I think he'll have been put off France somewhat by the experience of SBW.
Rugby union in Japan is awash with money, so I agree that could be a likely destination. However I wouldn't be surprised to see him stay in the southern hemisphere with one of the Super 14 clubs.
