Whats the gimmick picking Mason , who has never played union, for the Barbarians. ?

No idea seems a bit stupid and degrading to the nature of the Barbarians, maybe they are now the Mercenaries?

He propped or played back row in the (very) few games he had for HKR and was short of pace for a prop. How they are going to turn this money monster into a centre defeats me. Barbarians selectors should be ashamed of themselves!

It devalues the Barbarian concept for me.
This guy was an average NRL player, did nothing over here when he couldn't get a contract in Oz and has never played union.
If I was Gavin Henson coming up against him I would be licking my lips at the opportunity to run rings around him.

Matt Rogers played for the Barbarians while still playing Rugby League against Australia in 2001...just thought I'd share this amazing fact with you all.

Anyone actually see the game and able to comment on how well he played? Wasn't able to see it but would be good to know what happened, thanks!

Thought he looked pretty useful against Wales when he came on. Broke tackles, off loaded effectively and was a brick wall in defence. Had a hand in that brilliant clinching try by Nacewa.
Frankly, he offered more as a player in his 15 minutes, than Henson offered in the full 80.
Who is devaluing the Barbarians?

he did pretty well against baa bas when he came on a brilliant rugby league offload to set up nacewa for his try
