While Mason has his good points, we all know the not so good points about him.
But the signing of the Cashman may well turn out to be a great move.
Let's pretend that it was Willie Mason instead of Ray in the Penrith game.
If Mason had the debut game that Cashman DID have, we'd all be saying what a great and astute decision it was to sign him . . . . . I'd rather Cashy in this form on the minimal coin we'd be paying him.
While of course it's only 1 game in . . . I say that the sportswriters will soon be looking at the comparisons between this pairs relative come-back success.
On the left page, you have Ray Cashmere. Family man was working in the mines to support his family. Photo of him in a dusty hi-viz jacket exiting the mine shaft. Mopping his brow.
No colourful past to be ashamed of. Photo of him patting a unicorn. With a rainbow in the background.
Loving family. Photo of his Mrs and kids going to church. Carrying freshly baked scones for the priest.
Also cashmere makes nice soft fluffy jumpers. And if you can't spell, it's also a great Led Zep song.
The article is printed in a font called Inspirational dreams fine sans serif.
Then on the opposite page, is Willie Mason. On report for a high tackle grade Z. A tired and emotional photo of him taken early Sunday morning (way too early for church) at the Cross.
It uses the Imamonster very gross font, with extra serifs.
A few here agree, and I'd like to think that in a few more weeks we all are saying thank God we got Cashmere.
