How do you know he's never liked the Tigers? has he told you?

Mason has trash talked the Tigers pack for several years now. He was once asked who has the softest pack in the comp, he answered that no pack is soft, but if you fancied yourself getting over the top of any pack, the Tigers were it. Obviously not the case these days, but back then the Tigers lack of size was well documented. Mason has also publicly ridiculed Bryce Gibbs, even to the point where the Tigers lost in golden point extra time to the Roosters in 2010, **Mason said that while Bryce Gibbs is widely considered a massive tool in the rugby league fraternity,** he was the Tigers best player against the chooks. A compliment of sorts, but he also didn't miss the chance to put the boot in.

I'd be surprised if he ends up at the Tigers. Personally I don't think the club needs him. I think a sponsor or two might also have reservations about him.

:laughing: Classic case of 'pot calling the kettle black' there!

Does anyone have any news about willie mason today??

No, no announcement from Newcastle yet !
But I did hear he was allowed to write using a colored pencil today, I think they are close to letting him use a pen.

Not to make excuses guys but you are bringing up stuff that's 10 years old.

Even if you looked at Bryce Gibb's record a decade ago it would look pretty dodgy doesn't mean he didn't smarten up.
 
I know Helmesy, was making a light hearted jibe :stuck_out_tongue:

In all honesty in Willie's defence, what has he really done over the years other than get caught taking a slash on a wall? He doesn't belt women about, he doesn't lead cops on car chases, he doesn't get into blues down at the local. He's a peanut sure, but he's a law abiding one compared to most of the other serial clowns in the game.

I don't hate the bloke, I just don't want him here if he isn't going to bring the right attitude because he can be terminal for a club.
 
Agree with CB 100%, his biggest problem is being a bit of nob, we all know blokes like that, but I also think he is wrong for our club, we dont need to be taking risks with blokes that could cause cultural problems.

Oh well thats pretty safe considering you advise our kids to go to saints and the bulldogs.

Just on Mason….how was he at NQ?
No headlines.
Played OK
No trouble.
Same with England & France I beleive.
....if anythjings relevant its his most recent past
 
I personally don't think he can offer too much but that's because I really don't like him just the same as when Geyer put on a Balmain jersey

Both played Origin and for Australia.

Nice people are in libraries.

Is that were you meet all the hotties Ink?

He'd be an asset off the bench, and is way ahead of Bell!
 
The clubs Mason's been playing for when he acted like a tool (dogs and rorters in particular) had a lot of other real idiots around him.
In a team with a half decent culture (even the cowgirls) he stayed fairly clean.
His tweets are dumb but again, that's been since he hasn;t had a club around him. Seems to me that he's one of those class clowns that if people react around him he'll just act dumber and dumber to get attention. I like to think our club would provide the complete opposite of that of environment.
I think he could be a very good buy IF we get him, especially if we get him cheap.
