Rovers still waiting for Kangaroo Mason

Hull KR are still waiting for their big Kangaroo signing to turn up: despite a dash to Tonga to get a passport on the intervention of the islands' prime minister, Willie Mason is still without a work permit. And the club could also lose two other Australian forwards at the end of the season, in Michael Vella and Ben Galea.

Galea has hinted heavily at retirement after three years in Rovers' back row. "If I'm playing really well and the club offer me a new deal I may stay on, but I definitely won't be going anywhere else," Galea said.
