Anyone been reading the debate between him and the bulldogs?

http://nrl.com/

Few articles on the main page for those who haven't



Personally i think it would be a huge blow for the bulldogs if he leaves over something so stupid, he is a good forward and they have already lost Shrek to the roosters.

Basically he is upset that the club wont release him to play a boxing fight, and the CEO has said he is not bigger than the club and that he can leave. Apparently Mason has deferred contract payments throughout the season at the dogs so that they can remain under the salary cap. He is rumored to be on 400k. So Mason has taken offence to all this and wants to leave, threatening that he will take other players with him. Sponsors are also not so confident about the future if media frontman Mason leaves the club.

Oh and the latest article has the roosters interested in him which would be pretty sweet :D i dont think any NRL club could afford his 400k salary though, i reckon he wll do 1 off match payments or a small contract if he does stay, so that he can play in the world cup, then he'll shoot off or change careers :P

Bulldogs would be right to sack him. No doubt he is a valuable asset as a player but his arrogance is too much to put up with. And he gets offended by claims he thinks he's "Bigger than the club" when in reality thats exactly what he thinks. He thinks he should be able to do whatever he wants there and still be treated better than the rest.

I wish they'd name the other 3 who said if Willie goes they'll leave too, I want to know who these morons are.

That said I don't think they will sack him, but he's still an ass...

But thats what makes it exciting, he has attitude and mouth and is always at the front of anything which in a way is a good thing, even though he is a douchebag :D

So if Willie gets 400 and SBW gets nearly 1mil per year.... The rest of the dogs must be getting totally jewed? Talk about taking the lion share of the cap.

SBW isn't on that much / year though?

Mason's brother is a pro boxer iirc.

Let him go, watch the Doggies pack fall to pieces after losing Shrek as well.

I hope Mason leaves and then falls into the black hole of obscurity as he tries to find a club willing to pay him what he wants. I hate that guy.

Strong words, but I'd probably take that stance too... Willie Mason is the biggest retard in the game. Thankfully he'll never join the Warriors.

he'll never be at the warriors, not with the signings we have and the development coming through

PS: hopefully Sonny Fai gets his break in the NRL next season :D

When Wiki leaves / retires at the end of this year the Warriors will have a lot of cap room.

Although I think Wiki is signed for a couple more yet, same with Price (who is actually worth the money they are paying him!).

Er, but the Warriors (NEW ZEALANDERS!!1) do. Don't think they would want to alienate their fan base tbh.

Nah there's no way I could support a muppet like Mason. Good player but has pissed me off for far too long for me to ever support him. Thankfully he will never join the Warriors.

How are your feelings on him Sportacus? Reports are that if he does end up leaving the Bulldogs its very likely he will be in Sharks colours.
