You do know the full story right?
You do know that the Aussie press had the info and were running the story anyway.
You do know that HKR had little choice but to announce it due to this situation right?

Actually I was referencing another more recent signing which is the opposite of selling the fans short. Assuming he is eligible to play in the UK of course.

Ok.
We are on the Willie Mason thread though so it is hardly a stretch to belive you were talking about him

Heard Sandycock on the radio about a 'Marquee' signing then saw this thread!

I did wonder if the passing of The King of Tonga was coincidental to Sandy's announcement!

I wonder if this means the kings heir to the throne will actually sort out Mason's British passport for you!!

Good luck!!

He already has his passport and has had it for a while.
Do try and keep up at the back.

Haha! My apologies, not followed any news on Mason since his well documented exit from Craven Park! I wondered if Sandy thought he might be worth a punt as that 'Marquee' signing.

I'm sorry, just what point are you trying to make?

I think it's quite obvious; only stupid people do that to their hair.

Ah yes - I realise that now.

What's with the ginger bit down the middle?

It's not even straight, looks like a man with no arms did it with a garden rake.

It's not au revoir, it's goodbye. Rovers, Tonga's fledgling democracy and Mason - quite a trinity. I shall console myself that we got better value than Toulon at least. His cameo at Hull KR was, with hindsight, a gimmicky oddity, but it enlivened the spring of 2011. More than a year since his debut. Nearly a year since he left.

Doesn't time fly.
Feel kinda bad that I haven't checked back to see how Tongan politics is getting on, after my brief, intense and selfish interest 12 months ago.
