Willie Mason [Discussion]

According to 2UE this afternoon, Steven Humphries and our club will be taking the fans opinion into account when they decide whether to sign Willie Mason.

Does anyone on this forum know how to start a poll on this issue?

When you start taking fans opinions into signings and releases it is time to consider therapy
 
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.
 
But to answer your question Start a new topic and under the body should be a dark grey box with the create a poll option
 
Thats a cop out.

Either sign the guy or don't. People who consider not supporting the tigers because of one player aren't going to be fans who pump money into the club anyway.
 
Bugger the fans, the Australian coach has to decide if we really need to take the punt on big Willie. My Humble opinion,both BMM and Moors have looked great off the bench, if one of them end up back in Reggies because we need a spot for Willie I will be disappointed. On the other hand every team in the league will have a game plan to exploit our "middle ruck area" and if Willie can make that stronger that would be great. My guess at his age he will offer so good line running, but may be a liability in defense
 
FMD… This isnt a decision of what day of the weekend the Wiggles should play.

Fans are too emotional... Make a decision based on what's best for the team structure Sheens!!!
 
i was talking to a saints mate this morning, and he suggested to me that the tigers were probably monitoring supporter reaction to the possible signing on social media sites. We both work in advertising, and while this kind of thing is now big in the industry, i'm a little shocked it's true about a possibile recruitment.

If that's true maybe Bug is onto something!
What next ? Have a poll to see who should be captain or to name the squad?
These guys are paid to make a decision - make it or find someone with the guts to do so.
 
That's ridiculous! If there is so much indecisiveness and conjecture in the club about signing a player, then don't do it! Seriously, this is becoming a circus.

Yeah very amusing grn4life, things like people saying Willie Mason is a great front rower, or that " I had a bet on willie when he won man of the match once" surely this is what Timmy sheen is basing his recruitment on. How amusing!!!!

I have no idea what you are saying here, it makes absolutley no sense :crazy . But one thing is clear, your putiing your hatred for one single player above whats good for the club. You seem to know what we shouldn't do, but your not offering much in the way of alternatives
 
Yeah he would rather lose without Mason than win with him.

Ridiculous.

In that case the same rule should have applied for Gibbs, Payten and Lui…

I know his off field discrecions are not major but however I think he can be disruptive to a team. I have no proof but this is just an opinion. By the way of disruptive I mean he could cause friction in the camp. Some say we already have this. This is what I fear about signing him. Other than that Id be happy to see Willie line up against Canberra on Monday night.
 
Wasnt it jack Gibson that said when if start listening to what the fans think, next thing you know youre sitting with them.

Load of BS PR IMO

hence Icon.
 
anyway - the fans are pretty smart - sometimes smarter than the coaches - if this is the sign of times to come, where one day the forum can select the team then I'm all for it. 1 vote here for Willy.
