Did they? I only saw them from hkrs website.
And how is that a bigger scoop then Blake Green actually saying he's signed for hkr and is awaiting his visa and he's got his visa approved and is just waiting for the paperwork?

Anything else can be palmed off as paper talk IMHO. |

A photo of two people shaking hands, a photo your yet to give me a link to  , is better evidence than a coach saying he's interested in signing a player then said player saying he's signed and the visa has been approved?
You sure? |

2 reasons the Mason story broke IMO.
1, Him being such a high prfoile player it was going to make big news, might as well break it yourself as let the international rugby press talk.
2, Our passes were on sale and Mason will sell passes. Anyone denying thats a factor is deluding themselves. It would have been silly of the club not too.
Blake Green's signature isn't really big pass selling news as even followers of oz rugby no very little about him.

Quote ="Roverswall"The Aussie media got hold of some pictures of Mike Smith shaking hands with Willies manager and stuck them in their paper.
A great scoop I agree but it left Rovers with no alternative but to confirm the deal was done 'subject to Visa'.
Rovers don't like to confirm anything until all the paperwork is sorted it is how they have generally done it previously.'"

HULL KR SEAL MASON DEAL
WHILE Willie Mason was sweating it out for the Cowboys last night, his manager, Greg Keenan, was in England finalising a lucrative three-year deal. This is an exclusive picture of the deal being done with Hull KR boss Mike Smith late last night in England.
Although no picture is on this link, the quote suggests there was at the time...so seems to back up Roverswall.
The link seems to be snippets of previously published articles.
www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 14v78.html
......and this....
Smith added: "The club's policy is normally to wait until all the relevant paperwork has been completed, but such is the magnitude of this signing we felt it important that the fans were the first to be informed by their club and I'm certain this will fill them with great excitement." |

That is impressive digging I myself was struggling although I knew it was the case.
So thankyou very much.
I will say that for those who are going to ask the Aussie link appeared before Rovers confirmed anything. |

Thanks for taking time out for me grafton but on the link you gave I can't see masons name mentioned.
The second part would seem more reasonable.

It mentions him signing 'last night with pictures'
Like I said Rovers moved fast to make sure they announced it to the UK first. |

Do they put face in the water down there? I have absolutely no idea what you are looking for you ludicrous fool but I do know that one of my best friends has become as ridiculous as you, since having the misfortune to move there.
I truly couldn't care less as to what you are looking for unless it turned out to be comet C/1995 O1 and that was about to paste you between the eyes. |

Y'know, there's a little bit of me that loves you. I feel dirty for it, like having a relationship with someone from Coventry for seventeen (yes, seventeen) years. We've all got our little indiscretions. |
