The press inches Mason recives proves without any shadow of a doubt he is the most high profile player in the world.


Neither do you.

All these press inches? I have seen articles in the usual places and Sky did a piece on him.

Admittedly I have not read the HDM so don't know if they devoted a whole issue on him or not?

Ok then name me any player that spends more time being talked about for 1 season or another?






If you only knew the POWER of the dark side.

Keep saying it all you like, I don't agree.

Where has he been playing for the last few years, the NRL.

There are hardly any headlines about him these days largely beacuse he is a spent force over there. Players like Inglis, Folau, Smith etc etc get much more in terms of column inches. The media fascination over here is due to one thing, the Fielden punch. They are hoping it will kick off every game, although Mason will be hoping it does not happen with Peacock I bet.

Cannot recall SKY ever going to meet a player for an interview at the airport in Rugby League.

Long when he walked off the tour?

WILLIE MASON IS THE DAVID BECKHAM OF RUGBY LEAGUE (IS BECKHAM THE BEST FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD,NO!) BUT HE IS THE MOST FAMOUS FOOTBALLER IN THE WORLD. IT WILL TAKE FC A HUNDRED YEARS TO SIGN ANYONE LIKE MASON AND THATS A FACT!!


Hmmm, Lets go back 26 years shall we, Hull FC v Wigan 85 Challenge cup final Peter Stirling v Brett Kenny, even Wakefield managed to sign Wally Lewis the previous year. all 3 of those players had more ability and were higher profile than Willie Mason.

I must have imagined his name being linked to the betting scandal just to give it a nice edge then.
I must have imagined an almost weekly update of his visa-athon even though he was technically no longer in the NRL.
You mention the press scrum over here but yet you see fit to discount it because it doesn't fit your arguement...Convenient that isn't it.
Also did you know that tons and I mean TONS of local rags from all over the country were interested enough to put the press association release on their websites?
He isn't high profile though apparently.

So hang on a minute, you are saying that with the debut of the, ahem, "highest profile player in the world" ( :lol: :lol: ) you'd be happy with a similar attendance figure to the one you got when Olly Murs appeared as a pre match guest?

Brilliant :lol: :lol:
