Willie Mason [Discussion]

What a shame however that the Mason ego and attitude has held him back.

He wont be remembered for his impact on the game (which could have been so much greater) but for being a goose!

I mean imagine if we had Mason with his head screwed on right…

Farah
Galloway
Ellis
Blair

Woods

How is this a pointless thread ? I mean its December and a former aussie rep is looking for a club and it so happens that we have chased him in the past .
The last time he was in the nrl i was under the impression it was at the cowboys and from memory he was one of their better players in a struggling team.
I just feel that he may be worth a shot thats why i started the thread .
if you feel its a pointless thread then cool thats soemthin i disagree with .

Isn't a personal attack my friend.
Just pointing out there is always a thread like this, lol…

Tony Williams is off contract, should we sign him !?
Todd Carney has been released, should we sign him !?
Willie Mason !? LOL

I like that we can discuss the possibilities and player in depth, it's just....
usually there is no point to it simply because it won't happen.

I for one, like Willie Mason... He is funny.
One of my high school teachers taught him and said he's exactly how he seems - school bully.

He played very well at the Cows. His go-forward was outstanding. Something we terribly lack.

He is a million times better than Bell, (Bell is a VERY average player) but signing him would cost cash and why have Bell and Mason on the books when we could have kept an absolute machine in Bryce Gibbs or a 2012 Origin rep in Andrew Fifita.

Fifita an Origin rep in 2012 :roll

One of your best Bug!

Agree Willow, Gibbs is way more likely to play Origin in 2012 than Fifita.
 
Hi guys, we are one of the clubs who have been in talks with mason. WT are only offering a one year deal don't know about the money side of it but I believe it to be a second tier contract. I'm unfortunately on holidays from work as of tomorrow so I won't be able to find much else out until the new year.

Cheers guys….
 
I'd take him for next season.

He was in good form at the Cows.

Were favourites now imagine if Willie was added to the bench.

btw we don't deserve to be favourites without a 7.
 
Enjoy your holidays smoking gun, thanks for the heads up. I'm a little hesitant about this signing, he's had some bad press. Although as a cheap offseason pickup, and some guidance from Sheens. He may turn out to be a handy depth or impact bench player. And perhaps in his older age and may give it a real go before retirement. Surely it would have to be his last club signing.

A lot would have to change for Mason to want to come to the Tigers, I reckon. If I recall, he didn't really think too highly of us and our 'soft' pack :unamused:
 
no thanks, don't really want him, even for a year and a 2nd tier contract. Never liked the guy, don't think he'll be good for the club.
 
I have to admit i would be very annoyed off if it happens.We have lost a good club man playing his best footie like Gibbs and sign this cancer.I know there is a huge money difference but i could never justify signing Mason i would rather see it going to our young guns coming through who are the future of our club
 
What a stupid idea…..
The bloke is rubbish and is a bad influence.
Lui has done enough damage to the club as it is. If this idiot comes onboard hed take others down to his level and wouldnt even be providing anything to the team on the field.
If your that far past it that you cant play consistently in French Rugby you have no chance in the NRL
 
Personally I hope he ends up with his mate Maitua at the eels. We dont need him to get in Woods and Groats ear and damage their careers.
 
Its hard to say. From a footballing perspective it could be a great thing for the club. If Mason could recapture some of the form from his past and play some decent football he could be great for the club. We're short on props depth wise.
From a club and professional perspective it could be detrimental to the development of our young props. Theres nothing I can say about Mason that no one here doesn't know already, we'll just say he is a first class moron and he would be an awful role model for our younger props.
Its a risk versus reward decision here. For me the risk is much greater than the reward. So i'm going to have to say no.
 
He was at the Dogs, they were the laughing stock of the NRL, the most in trouble in the NRL and he was the cause
He was at the Roosers, they were the laughing stock of the NRL, the most in trouble in the NRL and he was the cause.
His first day at the Cowgirls, he opens his big mouth and causes a stir.. He is CANCER to any team he goes to.

100% not in favour of him being a Tiger. He is BAD for any team. doesnt matter who it is
 
Not sure he is the footballer he was.

That and the obvious concern on his influence with so many younger players in the team
 
His physical size and go forward would be a plus for the team, unfortunately his head is attached to his body and comes as a package. Would rather give the opportunity to one of our younger kids who has worked hard for the break. : :laughing:
