THE Sydney Roosters have attempted to distance themselves from reports disgruntled Bulldogs star Willie Mason could join the club next NRL season.
Mason is in crisis talks with the Bulldogs and has threatened to walk out on the final two years of his contract with the club.
A News Limited report today claimed that Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler would attempt to lure Mason to Bondi Junction if he left the Dogs, however the club has moved to silence the speculation.
In a statement posted on their website the Roosters indicated they would not be able to accommodate Mason next year.
"The Sydney Roosters have not considered Mason as he is still contracted to the Bulldogs for another two years," read the statement.
"It's a compliment that Mason feels the Roosters has appeal, however the club is not in any position to consider a player of his stature.
