Their season doesn't again until early autumn. By then he'd expect to have his passport, I guess.

its fool proof!



reading the statement from rovers it seems he could get his tongan passport within a few weeks of this goverment change, in which case toulon will flash some cash and we will be left with egg on our faces and a bunch of flags we have no use for.



Unless there are any willie mason lookalikes out there we could find

We signed him in september and expected Galea to come off/Mason to get his passport to fly through.

I didn't happen that way obviously.

A RU club has been found guilty today of registering more then they are allowed and they are expecting to get hammered for it.

The RFU are a lot harder then the RFL are will they take the risk?

Square one was when we were in administration, playing in front of less than 2,000 and having a sponsored walk to raise £25k to keep the club afloat...



Yeah, it's a pain and a bit of an embarrassment but I'll live...

If they flash the cash and we get some kind of fee I will be happy with that.

Not that I am holding out much hope of that

im guessing toulon would wait until we terminated his contract. Were not going to pay him to sit around doing nothing are we now.... oh hang on....

If you ask me, everyone is totally overreacting to this. Yes the club maybe have a bit of egg on their faces but so what? We brought Mason over, fully expecting him gaining a Tongan passport. As that has not happened we are without Mason but have Dobson. That puts us firmly back at square 1, were we beat Hull then should have beaten Warrington.

Rovers + Dobson are a far better team than Rovers + Mason. No player is bigger than the club but Dobson is closest.

If Willie does leave, we will get a fat cheque, I don't see the downside!

Exactly.

Fair play to Willie for turning up at the kids Easter camp today. The kids were told that under no circumstances were they to ask about his move to France though!

Anyway, ive got another Willie Mason flag i have no use though.

I'm not sure about the fat cheque and following the hype, there is going to be a degree of deflation and mild embarrassment. Sometimes things don't work out. Many more have than haven't in recent years. And finally putting it to bed will be a relief.

You need rid of him of your wage bill and the Toulon move would do that, I doubt a fee would be involved as it would help both parties. One thing you don't want is Big Willie sat in the stand unable to play and you will be still paying him his contract.



Time to cut the losses , except a bit of stick and carry on.

Rubbish.
