well said

The board has learned a few hard lessons and we've been burned . Let s Just now draw a line under the soap opera and move on just as hull fc did over crocker

He is the innocent party....Your club brought him over without his passport, and then de-registered him!

Nothing like the Crocker situation, we tried to sign a player and the visa situation rules changed...He never even made it into the country, let alone play a game and then get de-registered



But like a lot of KR fans you find solace in trying to compare your club/actions against us

How is he innocent when he admitted to speaking to Toulon rovers had every intention of waiting for his passport, rovers were going to seek special dispensation again until the rfl told them about what Mason did, so ur wrong there

he was under contract to us and was talking to toulon behind our backs. he was in breach of employment contract. he wasnt and isn't innocent. to conclude well I guess then hull fc is whiter than white and is holy than thou, see you in church my son

three fours IMO. Rovers shouldn't have signed an on-quota player without having a quota spot free. Eligible to come off quota, player but that's a partial excuse at best. Mason should have been open about Toulon - I don't blame a pro, especially a 31 year old pro, for looking at the sort of money rumoured, but I'm hardly going to applaud him either. Remember Rovers only de-registered him [iafter[/i the news of his visit to France broke. Then... well lets call it two fives and a two - Tonga. A little country having big problems, with more pressing concerns than this, but I'd not put a lot of faith in their assurances for a while. Wish them well, of course - and hope the reforms continue and have greater success. Bloomin' democracy!!!

Come off it. Rovers and the RFL have to take the blame here with the ridiculous shambles of the whole Mason/Dobson saga.

Mason probably could not wait to get away from the whole circus.

BTW he's playing for the Barbarians on Sky next Sunday if you want to watch him

I can see this being like a photo negative of a Paul Cooke thread!

I am a female...

Are you sure he did not sign his contract with invisible ink...[size=200BOOM! BOOM![/size

U think what u like and I cudnt care a less what u think I'm
Glad it's over now we can concentrate on getting our form back

Actually Hull are more black and white.


Wrong gender bud.

The one Mason signed?

To be honest, who can blame the bloke?

Toulon



East Hull

Yeah

If you seriously believe that, then you really are off your trolley.

A clause in an employment contract that specifically forbids an employee from speaking with or even seeking employment with another employer would be a clear breach of EU & English law. It would be deemed a restraint of trade, simple as.

Even the allambulance chaser should realise that and cease his pathetic posturing, in a vain attempt to deflect any criticism of his poor judgement

Bye bye Mr Mason. Can't say its been fun.

That only happens in West Hull .

It has for us on this side.

True,then you get a player from us who pulls up trees...........oh,hang on.........

In the long run our cap can be spent on better than Willie Mason. Hopefully we will be in a better position recruitment wise with him off our books.

Mason came for the money simple as ,yes rovers messed the deal up from the start but i cant honestly say if the passport would have been availiable from the start mason would have still been chasing the $$ .

bottom line is rovers messed the deal up mason was looking for the big $$ deal from the start .
both partys to blame IMO

as neil diamond say's money talks

bye willie and ill be laughing at u getting trampled in union baaaaa baaaaaas

As I see it the Mason fiasco, the Crocker problem, Eastwood at Leeds, Greg Bird at Bradford, the one at Huddersfield who's name I can't remember, could all be stopped by the RFL in one easy rule change. No player can be registered on the playing register of a Super League team, unless the player/club are in POSESSION of all relevant, necessary paperwork.
Simples, I am a genius and the saviour of rugby league!

You sure you're old enough to remember Zook Ema? You appear to be barely old enough to to remember Cooke being in breach of contract when he spoke to Rovers. Don't remember Hudge shaking his head sternly and telling Cooke he shouldn't be doing it. Hmm?

Rovers need to get their own house in order before pointing the finger so much. Mason's had enough and bitten it off. Good on him.
