Willie Mason... fired up to confront his former club.

Willie Mason says he has had his eyes on tonight's NRL clash against the Bulldogs since he joined the Sydney Roosters.

He is one of four ex-Bulldogs taking on their former team at Sydney's Olympic stadium tonight, with Mark O'Meley, Braith Anasta and Nate Myles also in the Roosters line-up.

Mason left the Bulldogs at the end of last season after falling out with then chief executive Malcolm Noad.

He says he knew he would be the focus of the pre-match build-up.

"Considering all the circus about this week, I was expecting this from the time that I signed with the Roosters," he said.

"I've known the build-up is going to be like this so it's not like I've gone 'oh God, what's happening'.

"I know it's going to be like this so I've been preparing myself for months now."

Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes has tried to play down the hype surrounding the match and Mason agrees it is time for both sides to concentrate on the football.

"Folkesy'd probably be filthy with the amount of media coverage it has got, he'd rather it be hush hush," he said.

"But bearing in mind that it's me and against the Bulldogs, it was always going to be a big story.

"I didn't really want to talk all week, I got forced into doing this, so I'm just looking forward to playing the game."
