Mason gets money for nothing

[Cockadoodledoo]

Our clubs decision not to play him looks pretty vindicated when you look at the interest from other clubs.. He is pretty much unwanted anywhere.. If he doesn't pick up another contract before the end of the off-season I doubt he will every play anywhere again.

[Billy Gunn]

The ball is in his court. He is supposed to be finding somewhere else to go. At this stage it seems like nobody is interested.

I am not sure how you can say that - usually if the club wants to unload a player they do so by finding them a deal coming to an arrangement and moving them on.

Waiting for someone who is on $400k at 29 to find another deal is just silly, he could sit out this year and still get a deal in England for 2011 and beyond.

NC - I agree with everything you say and nothing has been suggested that Willie has refused to do anything my understanding is he hasn't been asked to front training for anyone.

Had lunch today with a good mate who is a former NRL player, with pretty good links to your club. He was speculating that another NRL club is about to pick him up and share the costs with the Roosters.

In his experience, Mason would be shite at Rugby and that Japanese Rugby has shown very little interest.

Just some goss.

If we have to contribute over $100K to get rid of the bloke then I reckon forget about it.

I'd rather the Club played hardball and force him to play NSW Cup. He may earn a motza for doing it but he certainly won't be doing his future contract prospects any good.

And sooner or later even this dipshit will realise he's better off taking $100K and walking away rather than spend a year being belted from pillar to post by nuffies who just want to brag to their mates down the pub about how they landed one on the Wanka.

And some of the cowpaddocks the NSW Cup is played on wouldn't be good on the Wanka's knee either.

My guess NC is that you will be able to fire up the credit card and get your season ticket ... probably very early in the new year when they come back from their break.

Just a guess.

Then the focus will turn onto another ....

We'll see shall we. People have been saying that for months now and the Wanka's gone nowhere.

I'll also be waiting to see what action the Club take against Friend before I sign up again. I'm over the talk regarding punishment for bad behaviour, I want some definitive action - and not just against the nuffies either.

I guess it depends on how stubborn he is. His options are limited at the moment and there is a very real chance that the Roosters will have a chunk of their salary cap on the sidelines.

Maybe that's what needs to happen so the Roosters management and recruiters finally come to their senses and learn to buy more selectively.

The club has paid dearly for their mistakes over recent years. The Wanka just the latest in a long line. He was just the last straw as far as I was concerned.

Club should start up a "Piss off Willy" fund.

Donate, donate, donate!

POW does have some oomph !

Willy will play for us this season & will have a blinder... this is a ploy if they can't get rid of him.. He'll realise that he's not in-dispensable & the team can function without him..

His pride will ensure a good season. He'll need it to get a contract elsewhere..

The story in the paper is a nothing story and the comments in this thread have been seen in other threads many times.

The DT has an obsession with Mason. I want to know about the "Imminent sacking" they reported about weeks and weeks ago.

No he couldn't. Based on the UK visa rules, a player coming on an Australian passport would have to play a certain number of games in the previous season in the NRL. Something like 50% of matches.

Would you swap Mason for Gallen..???
