So whose winning - us or Willie?

[Guest]

The only conclusion is that he's done something seriously bad and that either the club can't prove it and subsequently tear up his contract or the club doesn't want whatever it is raised publicly

I would say this is 100% correct.

did he ever pay up for those fitzy auction items?

yes - only becaiuse it came out of his contract money.

I thought as much - the Roosters would have every right to take it out as well so Mason can't make an issue of it. At least the money has been provided to the charities, that's the main thing.

The Roosters will be in a far better place when this bloke is finally off our payroll and is someone else's problem.

If smith really wanted him, he would have been at training from day 1.

It was Uncle Nick not Smith who made the call.

Indeed,

Bout type Nick showed Gen Y not to **** with power.
I like it.
Keep the rest of the cheeky kuntz in line.
And what a guy to make an example of.
He is doing society a favour............

but I thought we were here to win games.
Smith has him right where he wants him.

The other interesting thing in all of this is the silence by mason.

Normally the guy is a serial loudmouth, always good for a quote to a journo.

The silence on his side is deafening.

Is there something both parties dont want out?

Must be hence why no other club wants him either. I'm sure they all know the full story...

Rather ironic that Nth Qld would be interested in him...
