Weren't they announcing an official yes/no today?
To be honest I don't think Tommy R or Blocker's comments in the media could have been good for anyone.
Yes, they just voiced their opinions, but having legends of the clubs say they don't want you isn't the right way to go about it in the media, they should just say "its in the hands of the club and they will come to the right decision" because from what I've seen it's pretty 50:50, look what Bellamy, Luke Burt and Cam Smith have said compared to Tommy and blocker. Put it this way - are we going to get what he has size-wise, experience wise and more than likely very cheap mid-season anywhere else? No.

Is this all a smokescreen, Tommy Ridiculous saying he doesn't want Big Willie at the club, a fan backlash,but 2 of 3 fans at a pub in Camperdown (The Alfred, not a NRL type pub) yesterday wanted Willie at the club.
For all the pros and cons, we sign the Unit on an incentive based contract and the rest is up to him, we get a lot of positive publicity, as the old timers say any publicity is good publicity, he's 32 now and he won't stuff up.
For crikey sake we need him more now than most people realise, our Rookie pack needs a hard head now!.

On 9 news tonight they said that the Tigers were reconsidering their offer to mason. The senior players are in favour of signing mason. Chris Heighington said that he was a very good player.

Wests Tigers set to say no to Willie

Wests Tigers appear to have gone cold on signing Willie Mason with the club expected to announce on Thursday they have pulled out of the race to secure the former Test forward.
The Tigers were believed to be front-runners to secure the 31-year-old, who has been without a club since quitting French rugby union at the end of last season.
With experienced forwards Bryce Gibbs and Andrew Fifita leaving the club in the off-season, and prop Keith Galloway picking up a toe injury in round one, the Tigers are currently light on forward stocks.
Mason was seen as the ideal player to fill a few gaps in the club's roster but it would appear the deal is now off the table.
"I can't tell you anything at this stage, Stephen Humphreys will make a statement about it today, Sheens told reporters on Thursday morning.
"We're leaving it in his hands to do that."
Asked if the Tigers were keen on bringing the former Bulldogs, Roosters and Cowboys forward to the club as they battle a shortage in the front-row, Sheens said: "The club made an inquiry about a number of players just to improve out front-row stock at this stage of the season."
Tigers back-rower Chris Heighington believes Mason would fit in well at the club but is confident they have the forward strength even without the former representative star.
"We've got two really good props in (Aaron) Woods and (Matt) Groat coming through that are really good players," said Heighington, who will equal the club record for most games by a forward against the Raiders on Monday night.
"That's up to the club but in saying that Willie is a really good signing."
"He's a good player and he's done it at the top level."

the club is week if they dont sign him , we do not have the experience in the lower grades to compete in the NRL , he would be helpfull to our young guns sign him you week lot
Talk about ambiguous media reports - so are we signing him or not? No one seems to be able to make up their mind. Why does there always have to be such a big drama surrounding our signings. Like I said earlier in this thread, the season will be over before a decision is even made :laughing:

Read the second last line by Rhino "thats up to the club but in saying that Willie is a really good signing"
Is Rhino getting tongue tied or has he just dropped an unexpected bomshell Maybe Sheensy and the boys are holding out ???
