Willie Mason

Its not the way forward for our club. Willie has done very well for the Knights, but he is way to old and his career is on the wind down.
 
Going out on a limb here but I reckon big free willie mason could be a good buy for us.

Especially if we could get him cheap. He wants to play one more year desperately.

I reckon we could get him cheap like 150k a year. The amount of go forward and experience he could give us of the bench would be excellent for the club and team.

I know he is old but I reckon he could offer us so much. Thoughts?
 
The horse has bolted. We had our chance, but he was beneath the sponsors and a lot of supporters, so we picked up razor Ray instead. Played about 5 games, wooo
 
What's the point of introducing a player for 1 year? By the time he gels with the team the contract would end.

Stick to young blood or those worth the coin in their prime. No more bandages for quick fixes.

Gee some people are not for real .34 and we want to sign him . The horse bolted on big willie about 3 years ago .but come to think of it .he is the kind of player most people in here want .watch somebody post the side for next year with willie in it.

Very true - Mason is highly overrated by many on here for some reason - desperation perhaps? He has hardly set the world on fire, since returning to the NRL, people!

Somehow I dont see us all of a sudden signing players that ARE setting the world on fire.
Thats not how we operate

This year has set us back a few peg, a lot of good works been undone….it shouldve been three years minimum since Potter arrived but I think our timeframe to climb the ladder has been extended.

Not sure on Willy, we'd just bring him down to our level....no one player is going to make a world of difference to us

I agree with yeti, our players shouldnt have anything to do with recruitment unless asked their opinion
 
Everyone needs to take an ice bath.

Mason has a terrible track record of ruining club cultures.

Just go back to previous clubs… He is not the senior player that will develop junior players. He never has and he never will. Perhaps he has just been unlucky three times. Even if that is the case it is not worth the risk that it's not just a coincidence.

Our single focus is our young guns. Keep it that way.

No thanks. Tries hard and big. All that's fine.

Gap is he wont develop those around him in the right way.

If we are going to get a mentor type senior forward then get one who has a good track record.

:smiley: I said before in another thread,Willie at 34 not really suitable,we have good forward prospects that will have benefitted from this year.This is only my opinion,but we need to replace Rowdy with a specialist centre who wants to take it forward.Iam not knocking Rowdy but his best is past him and I don't think he ever got over the horrendous injury he suffered although he tried.If we have a good offseason and the injured players all recoup and become fit again then I think we can plan ahead with our top squad and hopefully they stay healthy and give us hope of a great finish in 2015.Willie would offer something short term but I would rather see the young forwards take us forward,they do have Woods Farrah and Thompson to learn from.(I left out mentioning Mick Potter as a learning curve because we don't know yet if he is going to be with us,I really hope he is.) 😛ray:
 
Very interesting to see the outcome. If Willy does end up signing with us, will the club starting signing all the other troubled players. It's funny because the last time Willy was in negotiations with us, the WT did say on behalf of the club and sponsors that they will not lower the clubs image by signing serial pests. How times have changed, are we really a club that can provide proper welfare and support to those in need. Could the lunatics really be running ….................
