We are waiting for Willie Mason to arrive in the ESL, but there is supposed to be a delay with his paperwork, or not depending on whether you read what his ESL club are saying or what Mason implies in interviews in the press - in the Hull Daily Mail, SMH and Herald Sun his club are saying it's red tape, but Mason himself said "I suppose I'm still going" and one article talked about a hefty sign-on fee.
He said he was leaving for England 2 weeks ago, but has not arrived yet. He signed for Hull KR on the 4th of September, so if it is a visa delay it's much longer than any of the other players coming over have had to wait (Finch, Lima, Herbert, Cross, O'Donnell all got theirs and training in England already). The coach Justin Morgan is saying it doesn't matter if he doesn't arrive until after the season starts. Does anyone know whether he's left Australia yet or what's happening?
Thanks
