Mason got chopped from the Roosters for taking a leak on a tree,(scape goat so Carney could stay),the Cowboys wanted to keep him but couldn't match the dollars from French rugby,his rugby side played him in the centres where he had no idea.
So don't let the facts interupt your hatred,anyhow you won't last around here carrying on like that.

I did not stick a time frame on his past actions Hybrid or Simon did I All I have asked is he doesn't embarrass the club Don't read too much into it
He is not a Saint and he would be the first to admit that

At first I was against the idea of Mason coming to the tigers. Since we have now got injuries and a lack of grunt up front I am prepared to give him a chance.
He may suprise us.

He has to get all of his aggression and hard running coached out of him before he plays, that will take a few weeks.

Mason would be good in that he'll be keen to impress as he wants another contract beyond 2012\. Regardless whether it's with the Tigers or not he will want to be noticed thus I think he'll put in. Use him off the bench for two 10 minute stints each half ???
He may be a clown but based on his size alone he is exactly what we need right now… I wonder if this thread counts towards the club's appraisal of fan reaction... Me thinks we need a poll :wink:

CK I can see Petero ,Matt Scott and Hannant just shaking in their boots as we speak
What's everyones view on Steve Roach's comment that Willie is only a second rower?
I respect his view but at Willie's age and size I thought he might be better suited to front row. He wouldn't be as fast as he once was and obviously we have better options in the back row and lack options in front row. He is definitely big enough for front row. Im sure if his switched on he could make big meters and get some second phrase play going through some offloads.

If I am not mistaken Mason played at prop for NSW and Australia.

I wouldn't take much notice of what Blocker says. You've only gotta listen to him commentate to hear his knowledge. Its a no-brainer that he's a prop. He's played there for about the last 5 yrs of his career

Frontrowers ain't what they used to be in Roach's day.
You actually had to have scrummaging skill then.
Anybody can pack into a scrum now (and they do) without it making any difference.
They can call him a prop and play him anywhere they want - as long as he makes metres and does some tackling.
Special mention to Happy - Petero is shaking from old age - not fear :laughing:
