Willie Mason [Discussion]

We need him. Groat is not ready for 1st grade and for some reason our BRET props like Junior Moops are out of favour.

Groat is ready. Moors looks good this year, possibly better than Bell from what I have seen in the trials.

Hey Willow hmm I have to agree with Bug on this one - Groat needs another year and I have felt Moors has been really disappointing in the trials.

We are a prop short for sure.
 
We maybe one propr short but is Mason worth the trouble.

Has been a cancer at other clubs and he is getting on in NRL years and no pre season behind him.

Give Moors a go.
 
if we are a prop short id be looking elsewhere, pick up any of those Warriors 20's props, they were outstanding

It's only 8 dats to the start of the comp and still no decision has been made. What is he waiting for?

..an offer perhaps…from somebody...anybody?
Everybody (except maybe Willie)has concluded at this stage of his career & with the potential baggage he brings that his market value has more than halved from the 400k or so from just a few yrs back.He's at best a reserve forward,& then only if he behaves himself.
Willies gotta work out whether $180k or so is worth getting out of bed for,& his potential suitors have gotta work out whether this frustration will guarantee him(as opposed to strong liklihood)of being a disruptive influence.
Invest in the future with players who are hungry,fit & committed like Groat Moors & co

Poor underpaid bugger! I wouldn't go to bed at all if someone paid me $180K a year! :laughing:

Seriously though, I agree with you, Clontarfkid - we do need to invest in our future. I just wish Moors, in particular, would be given a go in the top grade, though. How long has he been with us now? Is this his 3rd year coming up? He has less mistakes in him and more first grade experience than both Groat and BMM, but it appears they always get the nod ahead of him. I reckon he would go well if given half a chance, but it looks like he's become the 'Mitch Brown' of the forward pack :laughing:

PS Thinking of starting a 'Say NO to Willie' campaign - anyone interested in joining? :stuck_out_tongue:
 
Gut feeling tells me his signing with the tigers will be announced b4 the weekend

I imagine it will be announced in a few knights time

Yep, my money's on the Knights signing him, if anyone at all. Let's hope so - that way I won't have to start my 'Say No to Willie' campaign then. As Gothetigers pointed out, it would be bad timing with Mardi Gras around the corner :laughing:
 
Was flicking thru the Knights website, they were basically howling down a bloke who heard a rumour that Willie was going to them….they dont want him either
 
@mase21 just tweeted to Matt Giteau that it will all be sorted by the end of next week …....
