Perhaps you'd like to tell us what he would be earning if he signed for Rovers and please feel free to post any of his alleged criminal convictions on this open forum Mrs B.

For those who can't see the sporthull article this morning (work etc)
Quote:AUSSIE giant Willie Mason has confirmed Hull KR are amongst the front-runners for his services next season.
The 30-year-old North Queensland star says he has been approached by five Super League clubs to join them in 2011.
But he says he has narrowed it down to just two – Huddersfield and the Robins.
With detailed talks still to be entered into with each club, Mason says he will make a decision within the next month.
"I have nothing left to achieve in Australia and I want to give the Super League a go," Mason told the Mail.
"You could say it's now a two-horse race between Hull KR and Huddersfield. Bradford, Salford and Catalans were also mentioned to me, but I'd say it's between those two.

"I don't want to go to a side that are going to lose by 30 or 40 points on a regular basis. I want to go to a well established club that has a fair crack of winning the title."
He admits negotiations haven't gone as far as talking about money, but he says that will be the next thing he and his manager discuss, as he seeks a two or three-year deal.
"There has also been interest from some NRL teams, but I am keen to go to England," Mason added.
"The standard of rugby in England is getting better year by year and I feel now is the perfect time to go.
"At this stage, my manager has only held initial talks with the clubs, but I hope to make my mind up within the next month."
Although Maon has had his disciplinary issues in the past, he doesn't have a criminal record and, therefore, should be free to come to the UK.
See today's Mail for the full exclusive two-page interview with Mason, in which he speaks about;
*How Hull FC's Mark O'Meley has been giving him advice on a possible move to Rovers
*His his thoughts on KR as a club, and;
*Why going head to head with former teammates O'Meley and Craig Fitzgibbon in a Hull derby appeals to him.
Looks like this is the real deal, and its either us or huddersfield. Come on ogre, get telling him Hull is the place to be!!! lol
It's nice to see O'Meeley and Fitz encouraging their ex team mate to join Rovers, they were obviously impressed with the atmosphere generated by us Robins at the recent derbies and explained to him about the city being a hotbed for rugby league.
TBF, i'm sure Clint Newton pointed his mate Crocker in the right direction in his failed attempt at joining hull fc.

To All, the fact the Luke O'Donnell has signed for Huddersfield Giants, could also mean he moves into Yorkshire instead of Humberside plus Willie Masons mind could be made up for him if Huddersfield recruit another prop forward they are chasing
