Sydney Roosters forward Willie Mason is poised to miss the Semi Finals and the World Cup after coming off injured in the opening stages of the Roosters 10-0 victory against the Dragons tonight.
It's believe the injured sustained by Mason is an ACL to his knee and that could possibly keep him out the early rounds of next season.
Mason's big match experience was going to be crucial for the Roosters as they qualified for the Finals in 4th position and will play host to the Darren Lockyer led Broncos next Friday night at the SFS.
More news on Mason's injury when it comes to hand.

Source: www.sydneyroosters.com.auSydney Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello has been given the week off after pulling up stiff from last Friday night's win over the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Minichiello, who has had two surgeries on his back, was given the advice from team medical staff to sit out the coming match and further matches if necessary.
Roosters head physiotherapist, Tony Ayoub, said resting Minichiello is just a precaution at this stage dismissing claims that the injury is career threatening.
"Mini's pulled up a little stiff and sore after the game on the weekend," Ayoub said.
"In light of his history and given the advice from his Neurosurgeon and an opinion from a couple of other medical professionals we've decided to give him some time off, maybe a week or two and then we'll reassess it."
"It's just the back problem that he has had, he's got a couple of old disc bulges that have been operated on and every now and then he gets sore so were giving him some time off," he said.
For the former player of the year, Minichiello said he was initially worried but confirmed it is only a precaution.
"I'm taking the advice of the coach and the doctors," Minichiello said.
"It was a little sore two days after the game, naturally with the history of my back sometimes you do get a little bit worried, that's why we did the MRI and it showed up all good so it's only a little bit of a scare."Willie Mason will also miss this weekends game due to a knee injury he picked up in last weeks win, although it is expected he will return for the Roosters heritage round clash against the Newcastle Knights at Bluetongue Stadium on Sunday 20 April.
"Willie has a grade one strain of his medial ligament on his left knee and he'll be right to play next week," Ayoub said.
Club CEO, Brian Canavan, also addressed David Shillington's absence from the Roosters line-up this weekend.
"The club has an internal policy relating to alcohol and David drank alcohol on the wrong day of the week and was late to training the next day," Canavan said.
"The coaching staff and the club have made the decision that he will play NSW Cup this week."PENRITH PANTHERS v SYDNEY ROOSTERS at CUA Stadium, 7.30pmPANTHERS: Rhys Wesser, Luke Rooney, Michael Jennings, Brad Tighe, Michael Gordon, Maurice Blair, Jarrod Sammut, Tony Puletua, Luke Priddis, Petero Civoniceva (capt), Frank Pritchard, Luke Lewis, Nathan Smith.
