How can a signing be officially announced if a major part of that signing (Visa) is yet to be sorted?
Putting it shortly it cant.
Well actually it can but then if the Visa is rejected the club in questions face is covered in egg.
Also I havent seen a direct 'quote' from the club saying what you have said we have can you show me the quote please as i'm interested to see it.

I have taken jobs and signed contracts and worked for companys on the principle i will pass a CRB check does not mean i have not signed just means i await clearance.
Surely if Blake has accepted terms and conditions he has signed something to that effect and it only being on the basis he is granted said visa?

But again can you find me a direct quote form the club saying that this is true?
If you can I will hold my hands up but I havent seen one.
Just do me a favour and dont use the fact that the HDM have a source that says so as it will cheapen the pair of us.

Hope i aint gonna cheapen us both but surely the interview in our local rag with Mr Green goes some way to say that he is ours?
I for one am so excited about this player especially as he cant wait to play with Dobbo again a point that he stated was a major factor in coming to us which means Dobbo is staying for at least the next 2 years is great.
We done the same with Clinton last year and it all came through, most of this arguement is FC jealousy which then has us back tracking due to their Crocker mess up!!
They would love for us to do the same!!

But Green as of this moment doesn't not speak for HKR in anyway.
That was why I said HKR have not confirmined anything.
Also how many players in the past have played the media?
Blake Green wouldn't be the first or the last to do this if he did.

The link does not show a picture

...and did you?

Of course she does.

It's called the Hull Kingston Rovers message forum. Bless.

Apparently it's been announced on the KCFM facebook wall that there's a big signing to be announced at 6PM, I wonder who it could be?

Just called a certain moderator involved with the radio station mentioned above for his view on the matter and all i got was a "no comment"! So I guess we'll have to wait and see!

it hasnt happened i hate to say it

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!

WELL DONE

It will be good to see the big fella playing Super League in 2011.

Great deal on the right lengh.

Shocked how quick the visas been sorted.

Subject to visa and medical. Announcing the signing early then, but with the season pass deadline looming. Let's hope you're not sold short.



Great signing on a "lucrative" deal BTW, but you know that, I'm sure.

Was all over the RL world and Aussie papers. So whether Rovers should have delayed it speaks for itself. The nature of the signing speaks for itself. £120k good buisness IMO

Is there a link with £120,000 in it?

I Don't need a link. But you can believe whatever you want regards how much rovers have paid Willie Mason.

Thanks. I'll settle for the national press reported number for now, plus the fact that the Aussie press are calling it "lucrative" when NRL salaries for top players are better than in SL.

I'll go with the figure i heard when i was told he'd all but signed yesterday......Something i posted on here last night

Jealousy will hurt you more than it hurts us. For your own sake cut it out.

Jealous? You have me mistaken.

Nice to see Rovers handled the Visa application well, we didn't want a Crocker gate did we

BIG WILLIE !!! Biggest signing in the history of rugby league in the city, well done Rovers.
