The Toulon boss has either a massive bank account or effluent for brains. Probably both. He expects Mason to play in Gavin Hensons position, now that they've given henson the boot.
Sunday's game could be very funny indeed.
I played a bit of union in my youth and the difference between the codes certainly takes a bit of picking up, to think Willie can just go into a team with no training or ever having played a game of RU seems very strange. At his time at KR he didn;t seem quick or fit enough to play in the backs, unless they play him on the wing and make sure the ball goes no where near him. First ruck / maul and he wont have a clue whether he can pick the ball up or not or when to let the ball go when tackled.

That is ludicrous. They can't have included him for any other reason than publicity, ticket sales must be slow.
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.

He signed a contract, not articles of indenture. If a contract contains a clause forbidding contact with a future employer, that is a clear an unequivocal restraint of trade and therefore unlawful.
Been thinking about this. If we assume that Mason's first contact with Toulon was the week before he was de-registered, Rovers whole argument against him would depend on how informal this meeting was. If it was a friendly visit, a tour round the stadium and a visit to the Naval museum followed by a glass of pastis at one of the bars lining the waterfront then I doubt Rovers have much of a case. It certainly went very quiet after that and looked as if Toulon had moved on.
By the time proper negotiations were entered into and money and signatures were exchanged, Rovers had de-registered him and he was a free agent, able to speak with whom he pleased. So Rovers would have no case against him. Mason, on the other hand, may well have a case against them for breach of contract. De-registration would have severely compromised the terms and conditions offered by Rovers within his contract, not least the fact that he was restricted from playing.

Really? Really?
This how you interpret events?
You have a serious dislike of Hull Kingston Rovers, but come on, I've tried to rescue from you from yourself before, now you're just making yourself look bat sh$t loony toons'.
Rovers won't be taking legal action against Mason, neither will he against Rovers.
It's over, done. End.
You still think that Hull Rugby League Football Club is going to sue over Cooke don't you.
You've got a degree, at some point this country paid for it, any chance we can get a return on that investment?
No need to answer.

Mason is still "pretty dirty" about the situation according to O'Meley's blog on FC's website, but is taking the misleading press coverage "on the chin". Good work there, Ogre.
