    Default Wigan's Cap. Mason to the Goons eh?

    According to the BBC, they have offered him £500k a year! :eek:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugb...ue/7079161.stm

    Not likely due to the fact (as Blobby pointed out) Mr. Pollard said they had £140k left on the Cap when he first took over (they've since added Mathers).

    New owner - same old lies and deceit. Didn`t the last owner say they were at the top of the salary cap and then proceed to sign Fielden? Leopards and spots spring to mind!

    "...according to the Sydney Sunday Telegraph, Mason is being tempted by the offer of a £1.5million three-year deal from new Wigan owner Ian Lenagan."

    :eek:

    It's not just our media who are too quick to throw the name of Wigan into any melting pot. Surely there can't be any truth behind this? Am I missing something here? How the hell would they get him in under the cap?

    As already stated by Carlos Alberto, this has to be an attempt to inflate his salary?

    Could that not be $1.5 Million AUS.

    That would make it around £220K per year which is not far off what we were paying Scully.

    Now lets just think about this.........Mason is on the market..all the SL big clubs are strapped up on the salary cap with no-one being shipped out.Mason has been over on his holidays in the off season........He will be looking forward to going home and sitting on the beach for a bit before pre-season training.It's freezing and ••••ing down whereever he's been.....He'll be bumping up his worth in Aus with all the stories of SL clubs wanting him..can't see anyone wanting him at his age IN SL and with his record he'll spend more time in the stand than Morley IMO.

    don't watch football.so he's 27 and had 10 years at the top level in RL and his club are releasing him.Same age as Farrell and Scully started with injuries ..clubs over here would be daft to take him on.If he was 23 ..different proposition.
    Just a few thoughtful reflections
    p.s watched saints for 40 years..just live in Liverpool !!

    He's only played in 150 games in his career over 7 seasons.
    Compared to anyone over here who has played for seven seasons. Think you'll find it's not a lot .:saint: :saint:

    Fair point.Still think he would be a risky signing for a number of reasons.

    In this weeks League Express is does state that Wigan have denied any contact with Willie Mason what so ever as they couldnt simply fit him under their salary cap.

    So it does in deed seem as though it was just Big Willie and his agent just using the pies to help pump up his wage demands back in Oz.
