he was dumped after we found out from the rfl that he had been talking to toulon before the wigan game which is out of order and now they thing as well he was in contact with them after he signed a contract with us and was waiting to come over so their

We stopped his wages for a reason. That tells enough in this whole sorry affair.

my my education in East Hull is so poor after all




BTW where is Willie

To be fair to Mason, he is at the end of his career and tied down with a 2/3 year contract at Rovers. It was uncertain whether he would play this year at all.

If I was him I would be looking for compensation from Rovers on top of his wages for keeping him out of action and de-valuing his worth.

The fact that HKR thought they HAD to sign him in the 1st place speaks volumes about the game in this country.

Perhaps they may learn from this escapade but somehow I doubt it.

Mason will end up on megga dough in Yawnion

It will be HKR who will be the losers in the whole episode

What has he done wrong?

The blame for this complete shambles lies with Hull KR and the RFL.

Mason was prepared to change his nationality for Rovers, they then duly deregister him to bring back golden boy. One can hardly blame him for talking to Toulon. He was prohibited from approaching another RL club but not a club from another sport.

He probably could not wait to get away from the whole shambles. He's trebled his salary to boot.

Actually we don't have a quota spot until Jeffries uk passport comes through in june/july

FFS 'Hull KA' - expected better of you Phipps.

Don't need him, I said that right from the start.

you already have a team of cocks Roofs, what would 1 big willie do

No need for that.

Thankfully Willie's shot off anyway.





Without the distraction of him I'm sure we can get back to doing what we do best - owning the Dullers...

It really doesn't, but you carry on.

Its the Hull KA fans I feel sorry for. Imagine the embarassment they now have to suffer for the way they acted when the signing was announced. How great they had now become, how their club could attract the calibre of player of Mason. Now hes realised what a mistake it was and confirmed what everyone else knew at the time.

I hope Hull KA at least refund anyone who bought a shirt with his name on it.

Completely agree with you Phipps,this has to be a first.

Some of us didn't want him from the start though tbf.

Your name says a lot about you "Erik the [unot Red[/u"


Have you ever met Neil & spoken to him then?

He spoke to Toulon BEFORE he was de-registered.

Player in speaking to another club while under contract shocker.

One has to ask, where was Hudgells righteous indignation when Cooke was sniffing around at rovers a few years back.

He was perfectly entitled to.

The RFL's Operational Rules prevent registered players approaching other RL clubs (or clubs approaching registered players). There's nothing to stop a player speaking to a RU club.

Unless you're party to the terms of the player's contract that's pure speculation.

The RFL's Operational Rules state



"Club" is defined as



There is no way that Rovers can prevent him from contacting a potential new employer.

I guess we'll see if they sue him.

At least we had the plums to sign him don't see you making any major signings ok yours have paid off as ours was a massive risk but still oh I almost forgot when's crocker getting here

Gleeson?


Crocker is ancient history,come up with a better retort than that.

Guess Fitzgibbon doesn't count then?
