North Queensland appears to be Willie Mason's last hope for an NRL lifeline after Manly announced it won't make an offer for the Sydney Roosters forward.

While the Sea Eagles showed initial interest, Manly chief executive Graham Lowe on Wednesday said the club's management was not interested in contracting Mason, who does not fit into the Roosters' 2010 plans.

"We are content with the squad we have and are confident of a successful season," Lowe said in a club statement.

"The club is eager to move on from the speculation of Mason joining the club and is continuing to work hard in preparation for the season ahead."

It's been reported Cowboys officials met with Mason's management in North Queensland this week about the prospect of signing him cheaply.

Tigers officially withdrew interest over a week ago. Thread closed.

our newest recruit likes him:

Former Kangaroos teammate Lote Tuqiri, who is set to rejoin the NRL this year after a stint with British rugby union club Leicester, expressed sympathy for Mason's predicament through his Twitter feed. ''Does anyone back in Oz have compassion for 1 of the most maligned athletes in Oz sport, Willie Mason? Why kick a dog when he's already down,'' Tuqiri posted.

The Tigers withdrew their interest for a reason. Anyone that think Mason will be beneficial for the club is kidding themselves.

Whilst WESTS TIGERS may have withdrawn their interest …...... will Wilie appear in a TIGERS jersey in 2010 (maybe a Balmain Tigers jersey). I have mail that Benny Elias is trying to facilitate a deal that would see Willie join the Tigers.

Could we see him closer to Wests Tigers than we think??????????????

 

[jadtiger]

As a longtime supporter of the tigers going back to the sixties i certainly hope not.Over the years the majority of the players who have worn the black and gold are men i have the utmost respect for.There have been some who have been a disgrace for various reasons and i do not want another in Mason.

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

tigers have a good reputation for their players not being in trouble ( minus laurie and new recruit taumata ). if signing him it will only get bad publicity and turn other fans against us.

 

[fainty]

I've got A felling if Willie gets a club he will have a big year, but I'm not saying I want him.

:laughing: Big Willie has his own thread….....

Elias 'n' Mason .....what a combo......

If Backdoor Benny can pull Mason off...... then good luck to BRET....

Well if it happens I think we have the depth we have been lacking. If this did happen, then Folkes and Mason need to get a room and make up :slight_smile:

 

[Granto87]

well Folkes and Mason were at a function a few weaks back and Mason went up to Folkes and tried to aplologise and shake his hand Folkes ignored him and walked away. Cant see these to sorting things out in a hurry i say it will be one or the other

This could drag on for a while…man I hate the off season!
