Mason is now seen by most clubs as damaged goods and a bad influence on younger players.

that snippet from the link says it all, we don't want to upset the apple cart

Does not say what hes done to upset everyone.

Anyone know?

The bloke just has a massive attitude and ego, with the correct contract and management i think he could get back to his best.

Not many of my fellow Wigan fans agree but i would love him at Wigan. The bloke has an aura that commands respect at least on the field.

id love to see him in SL just so he could deck stuart fielden !!!

He'd destroy everything we're building. A risk not worth taking in my opinion

It is interesting to note that at the Wigan shareholders meeting the Chairman told those present that we had been warned off making a move for 3 Props who were available by Wayne Bennett, Mason (attitude) O'Melley (bad knees) and Shane Tronc! I find the Tronc one very strange, as he seems to have no fitness issues, nor does at least from the outside seem to have a massive ego/attitude problem.

What, despite being smashed into next week by Kidwell and practically begging JP not to do the same to him?

Bully, expensive, coward (Sean Long incident wss it?) and appearing to have massive issues. Not on your nelly for me.

Again ?

That punch would have knocked anyone out

I think the Tronc thing is that he is rumoured to have struggled to settle when moving away from Queensland... although that was when he was much younger.

Apparently there is no issue with attitude or injury, it was simply stated by Bennett that he was not worth the money he was asking.

Would have fit right in at Wigan then

not under the new bloke by the sounds of it.

Wayne Bennett as good as he maybe has got it wrong about players before; some examples - Jonathon Thurston, Matt Bowen, Matt Ballin,
Adrian Lam.

Shane Tronc will give his all every week and the cooler conditions will suit him just keep him away from the pork pies and mushy peas.

Were he top class he would not be coming to SL. Prior to this season most had not heard of him in the UK.

I rate the lad think he will go well, but the advice was made in relation to value for money for Wigan, who need a nasty Prop, he clearly is not one of those and so would probably not offer Wigan value for money.

It is all relative to the demands of a team.

Was that true when Wigan signed Trent Barrett, or was it different then?

Barrett came for the same reason as Tronc is coming........money, Trent was available due to the fact St George had to get him off the cap as he was killing them due to massive mismanagement, but they did and nor did he want to go to another NRL club at the time.

It is a good example though, but you know what they say there is always the exception that proves the rule.

Not going to happen.
