Latchford Locks Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well it looks like Mason is off to French union club Toulon asap . Rovers to issue a statement shortly. When will we ever learn and start looking at our young English lads and bring them through instead of throwing good money after bad. The Aussies have been bleeding our game dry for long enough. I know certain players bring a lot of class and quality to our game but they are just the tip of the iceberg too many has beens and never will be's have infiltrated our game .TIME TO STOP ..NOW !!

safeway56 Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 You're a dinosaur Latch like myself. The game has been totally taken over by Ozzies...Ozzie coaches...Ozzie boring biff bash tactics...owned by Sky TV owned by the Dirty Digger who's nationality changes by the month depending on what he wants politically. I think this week he's Chinese, wanting to crack that particular market. You and I were both brought up on Bev..Jimmy Challinor...Laurie Gilfedder...Alex Murphy. Younger people say the game is bigger and better than ever but as an entertainment value ? I don't think so. It's true it's more successful commercially but back in the day who could give a toss about balance sheets and business plans...I didn't even know who Wire's coach was when I started supporting them...I couldn't have cared less. Never seen any coaches score spectacular tries, nor have I ever seen supporters waving balance sheets in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 What about washed up ex International Rugby Union players? Surely they are stifling young British RL talent too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 What about washed up ex International Rugby Union players? Surely they are stifling young British RL talent too? Yep...but they are in a tiny minority compared to the vast antipodean influx we have had over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teessidewire Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 HKR have done themselves a lot of damage with this farce, and Mason has simply confirmed what a lot of people already thought about him. He is quite simply an over the hill attention seeking idiot. I've just seen a classic quote about him on an Aussie Site. 'A fool, who gives stupidity a bad name.'

Latchford Locks Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Now Bradford are set to sign him !! You couldn't make it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 This gets better.... He has refused to go to the Bulls, seems he is just happy not playing and still being on the payroll...

Latest(and hopefully last) update.... http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/sport/Undefined-Headline/article-3540882-detail/article.html This is going to go on and on. Rovers only have themselves to blame. They knew what they were taking on. When I found the quote about stupidity I was actually looking for another quote I heard some time ago about Mason. It may have been Wayne Bennett who said to another coach, 'That big galute, I wouldn't touch him with yours.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 If any good can come from this mess it's the fact that other clubs will be more cautious in future with these daft headline grabbing signings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 This forum seems to have died a death. Think its time Gary put it out of its misery. There was a time when the usership was quite high in numbers, but it now appears most have buggered off else where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safeway56 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 It appears to have died a death but only because there's nothing topical to discuss. Unlike a lot of other forums unless there's something worth posting it's not worth the bother unless you are interested in what Tony Smith had for his tea last night or some such irrelevance. My intention this morning was to point out that Willie Mason takes Ritalin to combat ADHD which could explain his more bizarre behaviour.

He should feel very much at home in this country then. Some of the more bizarre things that happen to Willie, such as the Toulon connection, are orchestrated by hyis Agent. I wonder if he's on Ritalin too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirewire Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 He's just moved to France, and has been selected to play for the Barbarians against England, never having played Union! Can't wait to see him humiliated and just goes to show what a farce this whole affair has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
