This isnt sour grapes, far from it. You are more than very welcome to him, I hated the idea of him signing for us. Hes a crank and will be challenging ryan bailey for biggest nobhead next season!

Much as I dislike a lot of things Bailey does, the telling thing is that most Leeds fans still like and want him. If Willie Mason becomes really unpopular with the rest of SL (a la Bailey), that is fine - it will probably mean we are winning. Whether we, one-eyed and biased as we are, are still still cheering will be the barometer of his success.

His villainous grin is already looking like the warm, open smile of a loveable larrikin to me. I'm guessing you're not seeing it? :wink: :lol:

Ryan Bailey should be honored to be mentioned in the same breath. Willie Mason has achieved more in the game than most players could dream of. The fans of his last club certainly don't have any issues with him.

Correct, but you insisted the opposite IIRC. You're clearly another one in the cocky blonde wig brigade, then. :lol:
Still, at least now you've confirmed that Rovers have no injuries, we'll know any doubts reported in the HDM are Morgan's usual bollox. :lol:

He is undoubtedly your highest profile signing and probably one of the highest profile signings ever in Super League.

However I don't think he is your best signing. That was Dobson. Dobson wins matches for you and Mason will not do that.

What he can do, if you get your act together on the marketing side, is raise interest among your wider fan base and increase attendances. If he does that, then his signing will have been a success.






First there was wisdom
Then there was knowledge
Now there is only information

Doesn't the conventional wisdom hold that the forwards win the matches and the backs determine by how many points?
That being the case he could well prove to be a match winner for us.
