I think Hull KR fans should be the judge of this don't you? As yet I haven't heard any of them moaning about it. Maybe HKR fans are more supportive of the club than Giants fans?

To be quite honest as excited as I am to see Willie playing for HKR I will pass on going to the training session, I didnt go down to see Dobbo, Jake Webster, Clinton, Newton, Galea...etc and I have to say I was just as excited to see Jake over here after watching him at Loftus Road in 2005 against GB. Also I do like the Knights so Newtons arrival was very much appreciated but I still didnt go down to watch him train!

Sensationalising a player like this adds to the pressure and if/when he has a bad game or two the backlash is truely going to hit the fan!!!

Don't mind the club charging when it is going to a good cause either, think if you want to go that is great as it puts money into a scheme that should improve our home grown talent. However if you really want to watch them train that badly just ask to be shown around David Lloyd gym at their regular training time and act as if you want to join the club!!! Also you can usually just walk in and stand in the Well for most other training sessions so possibly pop down on a day they are not charging if it bothers you that much!!!!

Sorry for trying to make a conversation out of it, what's your suggestion brains?

If by charging fans to help pay for the oz trip for the kids we get better young kids and we one day do not need as Meany oz players I am all for it great idea

Or how about not spending all that money and all those man hours on sorting out the contract and visa and house and car and whatever else, as well all the press conferences and what not? Rather than signing an old crocked Aussie has-been, known for being a thug and not having the best of lifestyles or being the best role model for kids, how about using all that money and man hours on your youth development?

Rovers already have a terrific squad, should be highly competitive this year and have a platform to aim for honours or the next few years. The cost of Mason far outweighs the cost of youth development and IMO he won't bring much what is already a very good squad apart from a number of onfield punch ups.

YES but good on field punch ups bring it on we have not had a on field inforcer since casey and broadhurst

www.clubcall.com/rugby-league/au ... 76345.html I have heard it all now I must have missed the reports where David Beckham ran away from a taxi without paying, urinated in the street and signed his autograph as 'Craig Fitzgibbon' David Beckham my funking arrse

Must say it did make me chuckle a bit!

I think when you talk to anyone in Rugby League and ask them who one of the best forwards in the game has been over the past 10yrs Mason's name is likely to be mentioned and as an iconic figure he is certainly recognisable!

But I agree with your posts sentiments, think Mike Smiths mouth ran away from his brain during that interview!!!

Quite right!

I suppose he is similar to Beckham in as much as people either love him or hate him but thats as far as it goes.

He will still be a good signing for KR. I'm not a KR fan but I'm looking forward to seeing him play in superleague nonetheless.

If he had to hump Posh he would snap her

This is indeed the crux of the story. Sending youth players on a trip to Oz certainly is an incentive and aid to recruitment. What is wrong is the idea that this is somehow a charitable endeavour. How this can be registered as a charity is questionable to say the least. If you are going to fund recruitment jollies do it as a legitimate tax paying business would. Then again morally questionable actions are what your chairman specialises in.

Sending kids from East Hull to Australia would qualify for charitable status under several categories,

Prevention of Youth Offending, rehabilitation of offenders, educational work with the illiterate etc.

I dont see what your problem is.

Has he arrived yet ?

apparently he's double her body weight if he got inside her

Plane lands Monday with press conference scheduled for Tuesday.

Let's hope he lives up to all the hype. Teams in the lower half of the table need all the help they can get

still....at least his first game will be like home from home for him...there will be about 22 Anzacs on show out of the 34

probably in the air now then
