Anybody want to admit yet that they are a little disappointed with Mason...
for the last two years here in Aus I watched him run around with the wooden spooners.. he started both seasons off well but faded away quickly and was eventually shown the door at both clubs... and both clubs picked up massively after he left.
He is not the same player who once rocked it for NSW and the Kangaroos.... sadly.

I was hoping to be impressed, but then again I get into trouble on the forums for being negative regarding Mr Mason so I'll say no more.
I thought the idea of the NON RELEGATION league, was to give clubs a chance to 'blood' up & coming local/english players. Now I know rovers do 'bring' some players through their academy system, BUT apart from that 1st game that Willie played in, bigger crowd than usual, and all the publicity etc, what do you think it will actually gain Rovers in the 'long run'. As Aussie/Tongan legend who is 'past his best' who fancies one final BIG pay day. Before you all 'over react' to this post, you are not the only club to do this. We signed Robbie Paul.
As a Saints fan I was looking forward to seeing him play tonight. Whilst he didn't do anything wrong, he just doesn't seem to be playing with any fire in him at all. He looks in good shape, it's certainly not his conditioning that is a problem, he looked very athletic and lean. But tonight he just seemed to be going through the motions, which I found surprising as both Graham and Perry were making an extra effort to go after him when he got the ball. The Mason of old would have responded to that.

Perhaps playing in a team with confidence at an all time low has something to do with it
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?

Mason was always bought to put bums on seats which hasn't worked. Rovers knew they had gone for someone way past his best when they signed him, they are now going to pay good money to see him only play a good game when he can be ar$ed (probably derby games).
