Couldn't have said it better. If only some people who Willie bash would acknowledge players of ours that have carried on like peanuts at times in the past. I guess its different when we do it.

Sheens was just on Channel 9 also asked about Mason He refused to answer and seemed extremely annoyed that he was asked (my read he had specifically asked them not to ask about Mason )

Unless Vladamir Putin or Sargeant Schultz from Hogans Heroes are involved at the club I think it may be another answer :laughing:

alot of difference between first offenders and repeat offenders.
gibbs was the only repeat offender that stayed with the club.they obviously knew him well enough to give that chance.hasn't caused a drama since 2007.though i'm sure someone reckons they have dirt on him.
payten,i'm pretty sure they know him well enough to judge if he was worthy of another chance.
lui,saying he got a game straight away is a bit silly when his next game was the start of a new season,he had patched things up with his gf and i assume he went to counselling provided by the tigers.
mason on the other hand,while relatively small incidents,they are still a distraction that no club,sponsor or fan wants.
he has consistently shown bad judgement.
add the fact that we don't know him makes it perfectly reasonable to show some caution.
add that if he wants 2 years,makes it even tougher to commit to.
chalk and cheese to me.

I have no issue with the way the clubs handled the Gibbs and Payten issues.
Major issues with the Lui issue but that is what it is.
I understand some caution. If it is a football department decision or a sponsor driven I can live with it.
If it is a board or fan swayed decision I think it is weak management

Got no idea at this stage NT. if we haven't officially announced today we haven't signed him then I'd assume we have. Cause if we haven't or defiantly aren't going to they would of said so.

FWIW Lui probably was a repeat offender
From the September 2010 article when he was arrested after the first mad monday assault
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-09-27/tigers-lui-charged-with-assaulting-girlfriend/2276122
"Three of the charges relate to offences allegedly committed in May this year."

i guess i didn't pay enough attention to the may date when it came out.
not sure if the club would of known about the may incident until september.
can a club sack a player without pay that is charged and not convicted of a crime?
we released him that allowed him to sign with the cowboys.
going off subject here,but was there any backlash when the cowboys signed him.i can't imagine it would have been accepted on this forum,just wondering what cowboy fans thought of it.

i agree with you on the fan issue.i just don't think it played a part.especially with sheens.
as far as ceo and board,i think they know the short memory fans have when you win games.
@Kul said:
Come on Kul , it's being played out on every media outlet with a "we're not sure" , "take the fans into consideration" and Sheens even dodging the bullet by passing the buck to Humphries to make some sort of announcement.
If it looks like a shambles and talks like a shambles…. it's a shambles.
If they did make a solid decision days ago why not just come out and say so? (and my info is they didn't)
I think you missed my sarcasm in the last part of my post.
Anyway. It doesn't look like a shambles to me at all.
Party A talks to Party B
An agreement is not reached after a discussion
Party A and Party B part ways
The rest of the hype is 100% media driven.
Maybe WT could have said something, but I just can't see how they can be subject to much criticism from fans here.

Everybody has been on about this for over 6 weeks - Party A has talked to Party B on more than a few occassions.
And anything involving Mason is media driven.
How hard is it for someone from the Tigers to say ANYTHING!
Yes, no ,still in discussions.
It's not too hard you wouldn't think!
