Well he'll be about 32/33 when his contract with Rovers expires so he'll no doubt be on Hull FC's radar then. Lets hope he's got as much sense as Ben Galea

Exactly mate. On their 'Forum credits...' thread the 'She feel over' angle is mentioned as one of the year's highlights. Erm, seems (as you say) that Clint had the last laugh, walking round KC wearing a blond wig and applauding 5000 jubilant fans as most the Hull fans were already home.

Jubilant at beating 2009's 12th placed team that lost it's fullback on 3 minutes?
This from the forum that laughed at fans claiming reaching a major final was a success. Priceless.
Seriously, though, I'm sure Mason will be a great influence on all concerned and just 3 weeks to pre season. How exciting. Are you sending cab man to Heathrow?

No, jubilant at winning our 1st ever SL Play Off game in the backyard of our local rivals, thus ending their season in an instant.

But a very dismal failure of a season if you class reaching a major final as just a simple failure.
Have you arranged the welcome party for Willie yet? You need a well, some beer and probably some bushes in the next couple of weeks.

That would be the fullback most of your fans were happy to be shut of?

So any team that doesnt win the grand final see's their season as a failure?

Sure we dropped a few places in the league but I think both Justin and Bluey at Leeds had the same idea, wherever you finish in the top 8 as long as you string together the results you've as much chance as people finishing higher up the table. Less games are not always the answer to consistant results. I do not think Justin was too bothered about finishing in the top 4, and we went one result better in the playoffs.

Surely after 11/12yrs of Super League rugby a club should have at least won the grand final once?? As we have another 7 years to do it in I actually feel comfortable saying that because Justin has ambition to learn and move forward.

We laughed a lot more when you lot celebrated a win in a preseason friendly like it was your cup final.

On the Mason thing, I hope this is a sign that the visa is a done deal and will be announced shortly.

Please feel free to quote me on that definition of success/failure. I'm sure you like a quote-based challenge.

Why would Mason be turned down for a Visa?

He doesn't have any criminal convictions (a couple of police incidents but no convictions as far as I am aware), no reason he shouldn't get a Visa then.
