Willy Mason's deal with Catalans has fallen through & is talk he will play bush football. Do the tiges offer him a minimum contract? Might fire some of the young forwards up even if only playing 35 mins a game.

Willie doesn't want to play for the Wests Tigers…

No thanks all we need is another player who gives away 5+ penalties a game!

Not quite sure Marzie, but I'm guessing it goes back to 2012 when Willie and his agent, Sam Ayoub was negotiating with WT. He was a certainty to sign with us, until the club panicked after meeting with sponsers and didn't sign him up. The whole situation wasn't handled very professionally by our club. Surprise, 😱pen_mouth: surprise. Soon after, Wayne Bennett swooped and asked him to join the Knights.
It's lack of professionalism, that's got Willie offside with us. And who could blame him.
Once bitten twice shy.
Besides WT fans which we all have blind faith all other fans have us at wooden spoon favourites given our weak player roster, poor coach, No Galloway or Taupau and the endless Farah saga.
Brooks has not at this stage lived up to the hype surrounding him whether that is our poor forwards, poor game plan or Farah not given him control.
Still weak in the forwards.
My personal opinion we will finish bottom 4 battling out with Newcastle and Titans for the wooden spoon.
2016 could be a make or break year for Brooks, Moses and Siro
Year of the Broncos is my early pick for premiers.

A fact for which I am grateful
No Mason for the Tigers. We got enough problems and people not earning the dollars they are being paid.

Would have said yes in 2012 when we were actually interested till the PC police stepped in. He's 36 next yr, time for Willie to go get a real job, if he has the skills to do anything else. Would explain why he hasn't given it away.

He could turn out like the bloke we brought back from the Illawarra team , he was pretty handy , cheap ,

A big no on Big Willie, okay he probably could get a start in our top 17, but he would be keeping someone else out of the 17 who is years younger and possibly part of our future.
The way I look at it, we have to go with what we have till we can afford the big name signings

No one need worry about us telling Willie he's not wanted, I think the feeling is mutual.

I am sure Big Willie would forget very quickly what has transpired in the past if he had a contract dangled in front of his nose
