Mason to Tigers

[The Who]

Report that he will sign shortly. He must be on the base wage of $56,000 (I think it is) or else Tigers couldn't afford him, surely.

 

[Top End Eagle]

They got rid of Mitch Brown to alleviate immediate cap pressure so maybe it's two years with a back ended deal.

They do need go forward.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Pleased he will be nowhere near our squad.

 

[The Who]

Yes, but they get Ellis and Galloway back.

By my reckoning Tigers should have the same cap pressures as us. They have a lot of highly-paid players.

Ellis is going back to the UK at the end of the year.

 

[The Who]

Ellis is going back to the UK at the end of the year.

Yes I know, but that doesn't help their salary cap this year. Mason must be on rations this year, then grabbing much of Ellis' salary next season.
Comparing Ellis to Mason is like a thoroughbred to a old draught horse.

Off course it does, he was on 300k plus a year I seem to recall.I don't think anyone would pay Mason more than 150k and that's being generous.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Tigers have walked away from contract talks with Mason.

 

[Earnie the Eagle]

Now that the Tigers have withdrawn their interest, Masons career is probably over unless he gets a lifeline from someone else, perhaps he should give Tooves a call we are a bit short of back rowers....

 

[Chip and Chase]

Mason should try GWS Giants

 

[Masked Eagle]

I've spoken to a few former team mates of Big Willie and they all said the same thing. He is extremely popular amongst his team mates and that when he talks to young players in particular he has a great ability to give them confidence. The problem being is that his personality will often lead him to getting offside with the coach and it can split the playing group because a lot of the players would back back Big Willie.

I think if he went to a club that already had a strong leadership group within the club he could still be a success. At this stage though I'm more than happy for another club to take the risk.

We don't need that has-been. Divisive and self-opinionated.

 

[Jatz Crackers]

Divisive and self-opinionated.

There are two I's in Willie.
