With Willie Mason fired up to show what he can do against the champions who do you think he will target?

I think a confrontation with Wigans Mr Angry Joel Tomkins is on the cards especially if Sam recieves any treatment. M "Wolverine" McCulorum may fancy a pop at the giant chinned one!

He's been a bit limp so far.

I know what you mean, but I hope our lot just play it cool. These regular trips to the disciplinary are not helping us this season.

Don't you think he'll provide stiff opposition?

He'll come well in the cup games, semi at least.

"Big Willie" always struck me as cheesy.

There's me thinking you meant BIG WILLIE 2 HORNES from Barrow Raiders!

Hope Jonny Walker is picked, we could do with Jonny on him

If you hit him hard he won't come again.

Salford did a job on him earlier in season and completely defended him out the game

He got stuck in in his first game, but he's sucked since then.

Indeed. He was bobbins, in fact. To the extent that he even knocked on when playing the ball late on.

2 game in over 5 months


He is working hard, defensive work is good, just need to make some breaks in the defence and him clattering someone we are still waiting for.

Some of the humour on this thread has just reminded me of the Semi Tadulala thread on here a couple of years ago. The angry Wakefield fan who didn't realise we were joking about signing Semi (the jokey sexual references were very obvious indeed) was pure comedy genius, even arguing at one point with an embarrassed Wakefield fan who was trying to explain to him that it was a joke. That was one of the all-time funniest threads.

In the TV games i have seen him play, he just looks plain lazy. Don't get me wrong he can be devastating in attack, but in defence he is hardly involved.

As you say his match fitness will not be a the top of the scale, but for all the hype i am slightly underwhelmed.

Big Willie will raise his game I'm sure. He's been dying to put it about and the pies are as good as anyone. If he can't get up for such occasions, well ....

Big Wille puns, think Hudds Board put in a better effort

I think its a little premature to judge Big Willies performance. Its early in the season and his performance can go up and down without good reason. As the season progresses, only then will his true staying power perhaps become evident

He thinks he's hard, but it's all for show. In reality he's a bit floppy.

Hope he does flop on friday, but I must say I am looking forward to see how he does in the Hull derby

Agree, you always need to have "one eye" on his performance

He tends to be a bit stiff after games

Perhaps Friday will be the night you get penetrated by a big Willie

Willi or wont he? this is the question!.

Lover to have him at Wigan for the right cash. At least he has some biff about him.
