Could someone give me a brief synopsis?
Signed a player called Mason, who took a long time getting here due to passport and club cockups . Got here and played 5 games due to our star player being injured which allowed him to play from overseas. When star player was fit and said passport hadnt arrived Mason was told to swing one due to him having spoken to another club who would pay him 3x what we were. Anyway Mason now gone to kick and clap and we are as we were. Any other questions?

Do u really when u read the Toulon site the owner is the equivalent of abromivich of Chelsea to be honest I personally think he has screwed the club over, if he didn't have any intentions of signing for the French club none of this wud even be discussed, he has been offered big bucks his mate walked out on his club in aus and Mason in affect has done the same, I agree that rovers messed up with the non quota, how u can say mason is innocent is beyond me cos until kr found out he was jumping ship he was still been paid,so what do you reckon ant other club would have done in this situation.

Another example was GML inferring I'd suggested Toulon had made the contact with Mason. Untrue, and potentially dangerous, considering the legal battles that may lie ahead.
If your not his agent (which im starting to wonder) Why do you care?

Think we could be starting to go round in circles here, but anyway, from page 8:

When he did finally speak to Toulon it was after months of manipulative rule-bending (during which Rovers' mismanagement ensured he became involuntarily complicit) which started and ended with him being unable to play the game. Little wonder he had to take matters into his own hands, the situation had become insecure at best, career threatening at worse.
People need to wind their necks in when publicly slating him lest they lose their heads.

Lets face it, even when he was here, all he showed was that we are better off when Matt Cook is on the pitch! With the re-birth of Cook, the imminent return of Newton and the emergence of Taylor & Cox, we look to be well stocked with back rowers for the next few years. I would like to get Galea on for another year, as he has been quality again this season.
As for big Willie, well bon voyage. Several of us commented during games, that he was playing like a man desparate not to get injured. Now we know why. I think Rovers messed up from the start on this one, and lets hope there are some lessons learned. Put his salary into securing the likes of Scott Taylor on a 3 year deal and invest in our youth. This approach will get the respect of Rovers fans and start to rebuild our tarnished reputation within the game.
Another up & down week in the life of a Rovers supporter! Its never dull in East Hull.

Never mind the bloody shirt I want two quid back for me flags

Erm no I don't. At no point have I edited BS neither have I edited FFS to my knowledge. Putting it simply I HAVE heard those words used pre 9pm on the Beeb.
