lawyers for the defendent?
May have undersold Bell a little as u tend to notice competitors more with ball in hand(& Bell was very one dimensional with little impact) ,& miss the work they do in defence.I hope thats Bell,& I wish him well.
I played golf today with a couple of WT supporters,& one said Gibbs was arguably the dumbest player we ever had until a few years ago(ie gave away penalties on the 5th tackle,dropped the ball on early tackle) but now we'd got most of that stuff out of his game we move him on.That was my sentiment too.

He is from Newcastle, well my home town of Toronto actually. So it could be anyone in suits that he deals with back there. e.g. His financial advisers, mates etc.
Although, Bennett did say he wants to get the Novocastrians back to the Knights. It's certainly possible that he is talking to them.

i have heard from a mate that he has signed with the knights and it will be announced within the next two weeks. they are keen for him to play a trial so i guess we'll have to wait and see.
wherever he does sign if he does you'd have to think the club would want him to do so before the trials finish to at least give him a game. i know we did it with lote but i think with someone like mason who hasn't played for a while a hitout will be required

If Mason signs for the Tigers- great! He has the impact ability few forwards in the NRL offer. It would make for the Tigers having one of, if not THE most dynamic football teams on the field in 2012.
That said- Mason is not a necessary player for the Tigers. He's a luxury. So if they don't sign him, no big deal. They are well stocked for a run at the title without him.
As for him being a distraction- I'll trust the coaches on this. I'm sure if they thought it would be a problem, they'd have closed the book a while ago.
Geez, the Tigers will have a pretty imposing forward pack next season, with or without Mason on board.

If its starting in Newcastle I don't like its chances of getting to Broadway! :slight_smile:
Seriously though the knights probably wouldn't be a bad move for him, he hails from that area originally.
I would love to know what's going on behind the scenes, is the ball in Willie's court, or the clubs?

The ball is always in the players court. But clubs do grow tired of waiting

Usually players are given dead lines to come up with a yes or a no although I think in Masons case no such deadline was given if what was posted before is correct but the bottom line the longer this drags on for the less you think Big Willie is really considering us for the right reasons/
I can understand the big fella trying to squeeze as many dollars as he can but really with the comp less than a month away I think its time to cut the offer and get on with 2012

Interesting… Is that a news story Ink or a hot tip? Right move if it is correct given we're in February and about the play our first trial.

THE Wests Tigers are the latest club to pull out of negotiations with unwanted Rooster Willie Mason.
"We had an approach from Willie's manager and we gave it some consideration," confirmed Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys, "but we're comfortable enough with our current roster and have decided not to go there."
This was from the herald sun.
