Willies coming,, willies coming :crazy:
Rugby league bad boy Willie Mason is set to be unleashed in the Bulldogs' NRL trial against the Vodafone Warriors at North Harbour Stadium next Saturday night (March 3).
And it also seems certain outstanding New Zealander Sonny Bill Williams will have more game time as he continues his comeback from his latest injury problems.
The Bulldogs will be without winger Matt Utai, who damaged ankle ligaments in his side's 26-16 win against St George Illawarra in a trial last night (Saturday).
Standoff Daniel Holdsworth also picked up an ankle injury and he, too, might well miss the clash with the Vodafone Warriors.
But despite the setbacks, Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes said he planned to play Williams, Mason, captain Andrew Ryan and centre Willie Tonga in Auckland.
Williams had 40 minutes on the field last night, coming through unscathed.
He alone will be an enormous drawcard, as he always is when he plays at home.
Mason also provides plenty of reasons for fans to be at North Harbour Stadium.
The huge Auckland-born forward incensed Kiwis in his last appearance in New Zealand in the Tri-Nations series last October.
Lining up with his Australian team-mates as they watched the Kiwis perform the haka before the Mount Smart Stadium test, Mason was seen mouthing expletives in the direction of the New Zealand players.
During the fiery test, Mason was flattened by a thundering David Kidwell hit.
