I personally think Mason will eventually develop into a solid NRL player, most likely in a 9/13 utility role.
The most disappointing thing about this situation is that he is accepting a development deal at the Bears and my understanding was that we were going to need to use a top 30 spot on him. I feel like a junior demanding more from our club and accepting less from competitors is a common theme for us. If that was what happened here, then good riddance.
Hopefully we are starting to set a standard for what is required to get an NRL contract and the early promotion of expectant juniors can stop.
