Can the Roosters win the title with Big Willie Mason in the team?

Question

I think he's definitely going to improve them, but whether he can take them all the way? I doubt it.

Answer 1

Mason's not a game winner. He's not the guy that comes up with the excellent play when it's tied up and there's two minutes left; he's the guy who'll stand there and shout at his team to keep going with the claps on the back and so on.

I think that one of the reasons the Roosters didn't fare well this season was mindset, the spirit wasn't there, just like at the Knights' camp. In that way, I think Mason'll do good as he fires everyone up, but if there's someone who'll guide them to victory, it'll be Freddy, the coach.

Answer 2

He'll just fade into obscurity and the Roosters will continue to struggle.

Answer 3

I dont even think he will imporve the side much personally. frankly i find him overrated and lacking the heart and courage of other forwards like price and kite and the likes.

Answer 4

No. In saying that they have Senemana Sa'a (might be Pelemana but both are probably wrong) who I think is game winners but the loss of Craig Wing is going to hit them hard.

Answer 5

ahahahaha is that a trick question? h**l no will they win im not even sure that he will improve the team. alot of teams are getting better at tackling bigger guys and defence for some are increasing so i dont think he is a threat to anybody.

the TAB were paying $17 for them to win it but with the inclusion of willie they are now on $11, the same as the warriors. The warriors have a better chance at winning the premiership than the roosters.

Answer 6

He'll add something to them no doubt, but regardless of that they seemed pretty good late in the season this year so they have a sniff even without Willy. I think they will make top eight with a chance of top 4 but won't win. Manly and Melbourne won't go backwards much next year so I don't see why one of them won't win the premiership.

Answer 7

they will be even better in 2008

but willie will bring unwanted press to the club as usual

Answer 8

Probably not,I think Willie Mason's the man, but them winning the title, nah.Give them a couple of years maybe,not in 08' though
