Where is this so-called rule? i've never heard any talk of this besides on this forum. The only team i've ever heard in the media who have this are the Sydney Swans, yet they have had a few
 
I think if we do sign him & go on to win the premiership with big Willie playing a great game, we will be up there as one of the most hated clubs lol

I'm excited with the prospect of Willy signing up with the Tigers.

We need experience, size and mongrel , and that's exactly what Willie will provide.

I wonder if come round 26 and Willie has been an angel off the park and in devestating form on it, those inactive dusty accounts will get blown off and logged back in to say - "Well, I was wrong. Humble pie for me."

a la end 2011 - re Matt Utai signing.

I don't doubt he has the ability to play anymore (not at his 2006 ability or level) But what happens if he does something bad and we lose sponsors over it Then it is a horrible buy as it will cost us money
 
Shrek runs over Gibbs , Mason starts his spray. Fans fighting in the stands , I have never liked the bulldogs or any of their players and this guy is a serial pest , I say NO. We can start giving our juniors some experience for next season , one game at a time. I am with Tommy on this one.

You obviously didn't live anywhere near Lidcombe when Tommy was playing!
Calling Mason nothing but trouble when you consider the stuff he and others in his team got up to on the grog is really stretching it.
Everyone would duck for cover whenever those guys walked into a pub or club :laughing:
 
The reason with the delay in signing Big Willie may be we have salary cap issues & need to get the all clear from schubert first or with him being 32, he wants a 2 year deal as it will be his last contract in the nrl.Obviously he won't be on much money this year but the sticking point may be how much he wants for the second year.Would love to see him running out for us on Monday night.

unless the team has changed since yesterday sean meaney is on the bench., given the choice between meaney and mason i know who id prefer !!!
 
If the tigers sign him, lets hope they ban him from using twitter. We dont want him losing his phone again and it start magically abusing people. Alan hansen liverpool legend said something recently to the effect of 'Colourful characters are good for the game(about balotelli) but you dont win comps with them, they are for midrange teams'

I can't help thinking that this whole wanting to sign Mason saga is a desperate move by a club in a bit of bother. Everyone has been going on about how much depth we now have because of our recruitment over the off season, but somehow we just never seem to manage the right balance.

**We get Blair and Bell to beef us up and get rid of Gibbs and Fafita because of the cap or whatever** - but now we need someone else because we've been exposed up front, yet again, and have looked real bad in losing a couple of games. I know there's been injuries to Galloway and Ellis, but there are always injuries to Galloway and Ellis - we really needed to prepare better for this.

It's like we're always putting band aids on broken bones. We've had a whole off season to get this right! When is recruitment gonna get some foresight into exactly who and what is needed to balance this team? So, now we have the scenario, 4 rounds into the comp and we're chasing a bloke well past his prime and who hasn't played an NRL match in how long? A bloke that we would never have even entertained the idea of signing in the past! Seems to me like the desperate action of a desperate club, made so because of a lack of vision.

There was Gibbs, Fafita, Payten AND Dwyer….replaced with Bell, Blair and a pommy midget. Groat & Woods contracts upgraded.

Simple maths shows you replace 4 with 2, then lose another 1 or 2 (Kilo + Gaz) along the way...and you will find yourself with a deficit

I'd forgotten about Dwyer and Payten! Thanks for reminding me, Ink, but this makes the club's lack of preparation and foresight even worse! I'm not even that much against us signing big Willie - as CB said we won't know until we give him a go. I'm just astounded that we've let it get to the point where we have to. It's the same problem with the forwards **_every_** year, surely there's someone in the club who can get it right.

:laughing: Very clever max power! I'd give you some rep points for that if I could :unamused:
 
You know what…I want to win...now!!!!!! We need Mason. He needs a chance to prove himself. We are a bit soft upfront and young...Mason can help fix that!!!! Yes he is a pest...but so too are others....I'd give him a chance...sign him up the right way....if he is a pest then move him on...but on the other hand it could be a top buy...don't know yet...nothing ventured nothing gained...A Well Worded & Executed Contract can rectify any concerns supporters may have. But does he have it in to prove everyone wrong....I think he has....can't stand losing...making excuses etc.....we are weak as seen over the weekend....today players need to play for their jerseys.....this acquisition will facilitate this!!!!
