A great scoop I agree but it left Rovers with no alternative but to confirm the deal was done 'subject to Visa'. Rovers don't like to confirm anything until all the paperwork is sorted it is how they have generally done it previously.

From the Sydney Morning Herald HULL KR SEAL MASON DEAL WHILE Willie Mason was sweating it out for the Cowboys last night, his manager, Greg Keenan, was in England finalising a lucrative three-year deal. This is an exclusive picture of the deal being done with Hull KR boss Mike Smith late last night in England. Although no picture is on this link, the quote suggests there was at the time...so seems to back up Roverswall. The link seems to be snippets of previously published articles. http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 14v78.html
......and this....
Smith added: "The club's policy is normally to wait until all the relevant paperwork has been completed, but such is the magnitude of this signing we felt it important that the fans were the first to be informed by their club and I'm certain this will fill them with great excitement."

That is impressive digging I myself was struggling although I knew it was the case. So thankyou very much. I will say that for those who are going to ask the Aussie link appeared before Rovers confirmed anything.

Thanks for taking time out for me grafton but on the link you gave I can't see masons name mentioned.
The second part would seem more reasonable.

Scroll down mate its there. It mentions him signing 'last night with pictures' Like I said Rovers moved fast to make sure they announced it to the UK first.

You've been in Australia that long that you can no longer read? Not surprising.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Do they put arseface in the water down there? I have absolutely no idea what you are looking for you ludicrous fool but I do know that one of my best friends has become as ridiculous as you, since having the misfortune to move there.
I truly couldn't care less as to what you are looking for unless it turned out to be comet C/1995 O1 and that was about to paste you between the eyes.
