I also like that word..

[size=150Scum baggery.[/size.....top word that, I am impressed and shall also be using it in the future.

The rules are flawed because it is illegal to stop people entitled to work in this country from working in this country.

The clubs agreed to this rule and should do as much as possible to stick to it.

This said I do actually have no problem with galea becoming non-fed as this was in line with the first concession.

I would certainly have a problem if mason was to become exempt (as stated in the article).

This law will only work if the clubs don't try and use the loop holes that cannot be closed. The good of our game needs this rule to be enforced by the clubs.

Would you have a problem with that if he became exempt but signed for Hull FC ?

So basically your looking for a voluntary code that operates contrary to the Employment Laws.
Dream on.

...and for the good of the game it's vital that we don't have players like Mason over here.

You made a comment on the Mason thread (next signing)... you would bet that he does not come, but you will be happy to be proved wrong....make your mind up

I'm referring to Willa trying to take some moral high ground about Mason arriving as a non quota player. There's no contradiction here.
I absolutely want Mason to come to Rovers and not to Hull FC.
If you get him I won't be bleating about "bad for the game", I'll simply be gutted that we missed him.

she's getting as bad as Mr B for twisting comments to suit, to try and look clever. Surely she has some pots to wash.

Perhaps I should have framed my post between two "everything between these smileys is sarcasm" smileys.

Do they do those by the way?

I'm not taking the moral high ground.

We either want these non-fed rules or not.

If Mason signs for any club as non-quota then it's the final nail in the coffin of what potentially was a good idea.

I'm saying it's the only way it will work. I know it's highly unlikely

So you will be against him coming to Hull FC on that basis then.

Willa is a 17.5 Stone bald headed bloke who doesn't wash pots.

red al's comment refers to 'berrigan's bitch' who I sincerely hope is not a 17.5 Stone bald headed bloke.

The mental images are not pretty.

yes.

But I will obviously change my opinion to suit after the event



If it happens I will obviously accept it, but it doesn't mean it is right.

As negative as this could be for development e.g overseas players taking places that could be filled by young British players (albeit not as ably) is it not also a considerable positive to have players like Galea and Mason over here working alongside the developing youngsters?

If I was a young prop there are few people I would rather train alongside than Willy Mason.

What confuses me about the Mason thing is that, whatever passport he's got, he isn't fed-trained and hasn't been here to get a dispensation. Even the retrospectively applied 'here for 2008' exemptions, when combined with the right passport can be seen as a loophole - this would be a loopabyss and the rules would disappear into it never to be seen again IMO.

5'4...size 12 (well ish). Medium length blonde hair

Own a dishwasher

I am clever

I would imagine you're much more Berrigan's type.

Bit too old at 43

i am also a 17.5 stone bald headed bloke but unfortunately the missus makes me wash the pots

Take heart, at least you're unlikely to garner the unwanted attentions of Berrigan.
