Willie Mason [Discussion]

[Chris]

Let's not get carried away until T-Rexx confirms it.

 

[Fraze23]

I have mixed emotions about this if it is true or does eventuate into anything. On one side I'm curious about what Mason could potentially ad to the side. Experience, depth and a big man who can hit the ball up. On the other side there's the denial of opportunities to younger players and the potential for him to carry on like a complete wood duck.
Sheens has shown in the past that he won't take any crap from players who have attitude problems and I don't think he would sign him unless he was absolutely certain of what he would add to the side.

The offer has been there for a while, it doesn't have a time limit, guys just remember we have lost Lauren Gibbs Dwyer fifita we are missing experience and impact in that sense, I'm just saying under sheens this could be an awesome pick up, ad far as I know he want to play for a contender and it's not about money, we are one of 4 Sydney clubs who he has had talk with up until this week

 

[smoking_gun]

If I was a "gambling" man id be looking at sportingbets $9 offered for the tigers picking him up, I'd say we are a better then 50/50 to get his signature

 

[smoking_gun]

And that was meant to say payten not Lauren damn auto correct

 

[tigersrule4life]

So we did talk to him so its a wait and see now.

LOL, I was wondering who Lauren was. So was the $120,000 you said would be reasonable for Mason, our offer?

I hope he ends up elsewhere because I think I will find it very hard to barrack for that bloke.

 

[tigerkaz]

willie mason, really. isn't there a good young player that can do the same job without the crap? maybe if he was free.

 

[tigertye]

Would we be looking at an announcement before the trials?

I too have mixed emotions on this.
if he plays to his potential on field, then it will be worth it.
only time will tell, as we all know his influence off field can be of concern.

 

[Joel Helmes]

I have faith that the administration of the club have weighed up the possible negatives against the probable gains.

I'm happy to go with their decision, if Willie comes I will support him as strongly as the other guys and the signing would certainly only strengthen our forward pack.

It would also allow Matt Groat just that little bit longer to develop.

So could we be looking at -

8\. Mason
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Blair
13\. Fulton

14\. Heighnington
15\. Woods
16\. Bell
17\. Utility - perhaps Utai or Reddy?

Can't beleive this topic is still dragging on. Surely someone on here who claims to have inside info can confirm by now wether or not we're signing him

Its not a black/white situation though is it.

 

[Cos_Borg]

Well i would think the contract would be blank ink on white paper…

 

[Cos_Borg]

black oops

 

[DrewPeacock]

I wouldn't be surprised if he comes to the Tigers.
With Begovich deciding to quit the Tigers and concentrate on his chippie business after being overlooked last year, there probably is a vacant forward position available.
And also Payten retiring too.

Only time will tell

 

[Tigersmurf]

I hope we do get him. I think he could help us and we could help him.

He needs a clean slate and he will get that with us. Besides, who wouldn't want to play in a side with Marshall, Ellis, Farah, Blair etc…..

Although I was excited about Lote too, and he hasn't turned out quite as I expected...

 

[happy_tiger]

Happy new year all.

I can confirm sheensy has spoken with Mason. But no medical or anything like that has been done. But it's well and truly on the cards.

I am hoping that the only thing Sheens spoke to Willie about was to move his sleeping blanket before he rang the police

There must be better options out there than him surely

 

[tigersrule4life]

But he might turn out to be a gud buy just give him a one year deal and will see from there.

 

[Sabre]

Good thing is he isnt a dud, he can definitely play. Just a matter of whether he will still be in form. I would love to see him back in the NRL, but at this stage im unsure if id prefer him at Tigers or elsewhere.

If he does sign here then he is a Tiger and ill support him.
