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.

The 24-cap Australian international will join up with the Robins for the start of the 2011 campaign, [usubject to a successful medical and visa application[/u.
"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."

Oh the hypocrisy. Loving it, loving it, loving it.

Mrs B once upon a time you came on here and made some valid points albeit with a black & white perspective.

Now you come here like some chav from chav corner at the KC.

What happened?

I think you're being unkind, frankly. Rovers have had a couple of very clear principles on this subject the last couple of years:
1) Announcing signings before the end of the season is selling the fans short. The season should be about the here and now. Direct comments from your chairman's matchday programme notes, in the context of Hull FC announcing signings early.
2) Signings will not be announced until all the paperwork is complete, to avoid a Crocker/Eastwood/Bird etc scenario.

Yet now you've finished 3 places below where you did last season, there's no movement on the East Stand, let alone the North, and the season pass discount period is about to end, all these principles are merrily abandoned, with the unbelievable excuse that the club wants to get the fans excited. If you can't see this extreme hypocrisy for what it is, you're not quite playing with a full deck.

It's all right babe I love you too.

and mrs b spends too much time on our board,

i welcome big willie

OWNED!!!!!!!

Oh dear Mrs B, you seem to be losing that cutting edge....
Would you like a wager that the Mason shirts won't need returning like the Croker shirts?

Just make sure you spell it right the first time.

My hopes are still on hold for now untill his full clearance comes through, the player and his agent must be confident of this.

Years ago we could have only dreamed about signing a player like Mason, now through people like Hudgell and Crossland and all others who have made this happen, we owe a huge thankyou.
