No, no announcement from Newcastle yet !
But I did hear he was allowed to write using a colored pencil today, I think they are close to letting him use a pen.

Come on… The bloke isn't Einstein but we all know he can write... After all he signs other players names on paraphenialia...

Very good Bogan… forgot about that one. What a fool, **our kids don't need to be anywhere near this bloke.**

Oh well thats pretty safe considering you advise our kids to go to saints and the bulldogs.

Just on Mason….how was he at NQ?
No headlines.
Played OK
No trouble.
Same with England & France I beleive.
....if anythjings relevant its his most recent past

In France he became the only league player not to pass the adequate transition to rugby clause in his contract and was sacked, he thought he was above Rugby, tweeted he hated the game, it was boring and alike whilst still contracted to play with them.
The attitude problems were there, they were less publicised in Australia, out of sight out of mind.

I personally don't think he can offer too much but that's because I really don't like him just the same as when Geyer put on a Balmain jersey

Both played Origin and for Australia.
Thing about footy is sometimes not being nice gets you places.
Nice people are in libraries.

Big problem with both of them is they aren't Queenslanders so that is one big thing against as well as they are both class one dck heads!

People say he was quiet up at the Cowbees Remember the 1st interview he gave on the Footy Show bagging the NSW clubs for not signing him

I bet he did get up to some mischief in Townsville , probably just didn't get caught thats all
As they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks ….....
 
the game he played was at inside centre.

He was unable to learn the basics and couldnt make the team at all. Given his talents only reason for that is attitude.
 
Wish they would confirm he is or isnt joining the Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One min i do want him, then i read some posts and change my mind, back and forth. like a yoyo….......

I feel the exact same way. I hope if we do sign him we don't make a big deal about it, just let him play State Cup and earn a spot in First Grade.
 
Give him a year what the hell. He wouldn't be the first Tigers player people have disliked. At worst he can be the forums punching bag. All this talk that he could could be a bad influence is rubbish IMO. Woods and Groat seem to have their heads screwed on the right way, and i'm sure the older guys will keep them in check

Im worried what he may do the culture we have here, what he does on the field is not a worry, but off the field their is the potential for a negative impact that is not worth it IMO
 
Well if our culture is so good maybe we can convert him?

Surely 30 good influences are more powerful than one bad one! :slight_smile:

I don't think the Cowboys culture was affected too much. I don't like the guy either, but i think some people need to cut him a bit of slack. Not that i haven't been guilty of hoping he doesn't come, but after giving it some thought, why not give him a shot? i'm sure Sheens won't put up with any off-field rubbish
 
Any grown man who is easily led down the wrong path is weak, groat and woods are grown and old enough to know right from wrong, can't blame someone else if they choose them selves to be led down the wrong road
