I 100% agree with you, but imo signing willie mason would give us all the knob, with non of the great player.

Personally I don't rate him, no doubt he's a big mean bar steward, but he's never really made me jump out of my seat while he's been playing.

How many props realistically do tho? Feka gets me off my seat when he barn storms in as does Moi Moi but other than that I can’t say I’ve ever thought wow with a prop in the same way as I have with Inglis, Slater or Hayne and some of the plays they make.

I want my props to run hard and enforce themselves on the game and the opposition. Mason is a master at this and has a knack of winding the opposition players up to the point were they go off their own game (Fielden anyone?)

If you put Mason in this team we’d over take Saints in the title odds imo.

Plus I’d love to see him go toe to toe with Peacock again.

Graham won't be leaving saints.

as if mason will be granted a visa, forget it,he was charged a few years ago for driving without a license, he is not the player everyone thinks, had his opportunity to be the number one forward in the game but chose to stuff it all for a pint or 12. The only people happy to see Mason in Wigan will be the bar owners on King St.

James Graham signing for Wigan. Oh dear....keep dreaming!

just to try and clear this up a little, when JG was alledged to have hit MP, he wasn't in the country

I've heard Graham's a bad egg and would hope we stay clear. Good player but i'd imagine he causes way too much trouble behind the scenes.

Reading the thread about Mason and the link on that website it looks like Lote Tuqiri could be looking for a club.

What are peoples thoughts on him being signed instead of Carmont for next season?

Could he play centre? He's certainly strong and quick enough to make an impact?

As far as I'm aware he's only ever played wing. Remember the last experiment we had when we tried to turn a winger into a centre. Nearly ruined him.

Fair enough then.

I'd always thought he'd played some at centre.

Can't be that hard can it if Bridge can play for England there
