Our chairman Peter Hood has stated in the League Express that he wants to take Willie Mason on loan for the rest of the season due to our long term injuries to key forwards. It sounds like he plans to talk to the KR board, do you reckon they'd let him go out on loan ?

ask them

If they cover his wages and he doesn't play against us, why not. Perhaps he would be ready to go in 2012.

We have an quota spot and plenty of room on the cap.

Could suit all parties...

Well, maybe it's possible. The Toulon thing has gone quiet, and they have handed Henson a reprieve:

If his passport comes threw in the nexst 2 weeks no if not why not hopefully we will not need him for the game at york so it might work but only on loan

Why not. He can't play for us.

Bradford wont pay any more than 50%

Because?

..of the transfer fee of £300k according to some.

Passport due soon so i reckon he stays to play for us till at least the end of the year.
French RU is finished this year now is it not ?
Mason wont need a special dispo once his tongan passport comes thru right ?
let him sit on the side for a month max and when he does get back ffs get him running good angles and offloading instead of using him as a battering ram.

It's the second registration within the same season that is the issue ......

"Mason is still awaiting his Tongan passport and would need special dispensation from the Rugby Football League to be registered a second time which is unlikely to be forthcoming given all the wheeling and dealing that has already taken place."

i thought this was the case but a lot of people seem to think differently now, whats changed???

theres two ways of reading this..

Mason is still awaiting his Tongan passport and would need special dispensation from the Rugby Football League to be registered a second time. (Is this if we were to seek dispensation without his passport) so once his passport comes through we don't then need dispensation and its a done deal.

I don't think the press necessarily understand the situation. I'm not having a pop, it's complicated and they're not likely to be more professional than I am obsessional - and I don't know what's going on.

We needed and got a special dispensation for Dobson. Whether one would be needed for Mason if he got his passport I don't know - he wouldn't then be an overseas player... but the rules weren't designed to cope with this. So if new ones have to be improvised, then it is politics and the following should be considered...

Press reports suggest Rovers, to secure Dobson's re-reg, may have given assurances that they would not ask to re-reg Tongan Willie Mason. Unless absolutely necessary or with a firm offer from Toulon in place, that would be a bit stupid and seems slightly at odds with the club's claim that they are still working to get the passport.

Even if we assume the RFL are unhappy with HKR (given that they accepted the same third party assurances as the club, this is less certain (or certainly less justified) than some paint it), 'punishing' Willie Mason for events beyond his control might not look good - ethically or even legally.

Says here he has agreed to the move.

saw him walking down whitefriargate on saturday and he looked far from happy

He got caught shoplifting a caburys cream egg.

Hardly surprising, no doubt he turned down other clubs (I know Huddersfield were in the mix), to join you lot who clearly tried to screw the system and now he is sat in the stands!

...in the Sun.

And it's probably the fake Twitter account that the HDM fell for a couple of weeks ago.

pity his first names not PERRY, then he could have gotton out of this mess himself
