Big Willie Mason will be your next signing , watch this space!

Any proof.

another overseas signing blimey

He's big buddies with Mark OMeeley who is encouraging him to come to Hull instead of 3 other chasing clubs

Serious question. What was the extent of the dispensation given to Rovers regarding quota spots and is this still ongoing?

Well seeing as the RFL gave [size=150all players[/size who were contracted to [size=150any[/size SL club before 1 feb 08 a facility to become fed trained it is the case that we have no more or less of a dispensation than you do.

vella,newton,webster,galea were playing for rovers before the new rule came in so they dont count on the quota like manu but once a player signs for another team then the rule dosent count and will count on the quota.

This is where it becomes a grey area because origionally they said the fed trained staus would stay with the player even if they moved clubs.
I have yet to see any statment from the RFL saying otherwise (Not saying there isn't 1 just that I havent seen it).

not sure i thought once the player moved clubs he then would count on the teams quota but like i say not sure but the rfl are idiots always make things complicated and are never clear in what they do.

I definatly saw a quote where it was started that the player kept the new classification even if they moved clubs.

TBH I have looked for the origional statement of the RL website but I cant find it but i know it was on there!

Found it this is a cut and paste job from the RFL website. reds.originalreddevils.com/2008/ ... on-ruling/

I never knew a pig could perform a Split S.

I haven't a clue where he's got his info from but Mason would be a top signing.

Now I may be way off the mark but wasn't it Mason who was always very anti players leaving oz for SL. He wanted to have them removed from the hall of fame if they ever 'defected' etc. Would be a big about face for him to come over although his views may have changed due to his age and the money he would get.

I agree would be a top signing but I really can't see it, cash being the biggest problem.

Hasn't he also got a colourful record with the police? Could be wrong. He's been looking pretty average at prop this year but form is temporary and class is permanent I suppose. Would be a monster signing.

it says in the daily mail that your close to signing him

Urinating in public is his only conviction, I believe.

I look forward to Rovers fans completely changing their opinions on clubs signing former Australian internationals in their 30s.

Especially pension-seekers with criminal records. What would Bertie say?

If this signing does happen

and Fc sign Fielden; as has been suggested, bring on next years derbys

What's his taste in music got to do with anything

Areyou looking forward to playing saints for similar reasons?

I wouldn't believe everything you read in the HDM. They are hardly The Times of East Yorkshire, are they ?

Unless it's revealed by the club ( or signings for other club's are revealed by an official scource) i've given up on rumours as 99% are untrue.



Nevertheless a derby game including Willie Mason and Fielden could prove very interesting

You'll have enlighten me as to what you're refering to; it's still early.
