Not sure what to make of this, at least it might add a bit of competition up front.

Decent squad player.

Big signing for you, much more than a squad player.
Giants fans sad to see him go, Problems behind the scenes.
Would have got th e Giants 10 shirt, no problem.

Well I wasn't expecting that.

that'll do for us I reckon. should be competing for the 8

Thought he may join cas with working with ian millward before.

shocking season last year, but did have off field problems and got the sack from giants.

wouldnt of got in andersons first choice team this coming season anyway with him falling down the pecking order in the props department. crabtree/kopczak/fielden/mullally/patrick/taai for giants next season.

Arrogant waster who has never had one outstanding game that I have seen. Has all the physical attributes however.

Got to hand it to the BoD. They said if we got more members on board then they would sign more players. I disagree with anyone who says that Keith Mason will not strengthen our side. Again, it is a signing that has improved on those leaving (Keith Mason in, Paul Jackson out). Still a front row forward and a half back light in my opinion.

Those of us who remember his last efforts in a Cas shirt will certainly not be expecting too much from him. He was a waster in his previous spell and a player who has struggled to make a big impact where ever he has played.

I'll be one who will wait and see.

Do a job for you, decent signing.

Wasn't he with Mildred at Saints?

Didn't even know he'd played for you which kind of makes your point I suppose

Mason

garbage,had numerous clubs and e at all of them.

Top eight..................that's the funniest thing i've ever heard!

jetblack74...fev fan or wakey fan?

Try over the big hills to the west, sorry to disapoint you.

Niether.

Puts Nash down to like 8th in the pecking order so that automatically makes him a good signing.

Carnt believe he signed for you when he had offers from other clubs Bulls ,Wakey,etc ,it looks klike his old mate Milly swung it.

Agar said we were not talking to him so don't know were you got Wakey from?

I think RA tells porkies he had an offer fromy Wakey 2 weeks ago.

All the best with Cas pal. You did us proud for seven years.

peace out.

Not sure he ever did. He was on loan with us from Saints, but I don't recall him playing. Fell out with Terry, apparently because he thought his name should automatically be on every team sheet, coming from a big club.

Will wait and see if he's matured / improved since then ...

I know Keith Mason fell out with Matterson at Cas before joining the Giants, so he didn't do great in his last stint there. At Huddersfield however he was a very good prop, nowt flashy but took the ball up aggressively and certainly put in a good defensive stint.

He does have his flaws, he can be wound up and when he looses the plot he really loses it. He has a reputation as a penalty machine, that comes with his aggression and most of his penalties are when fatigued. He also gives away some acceptable penalties that opposition fans will think cynical but are part of the dark side of the game that some props thrive in. Keith is the sort you want alongside you in a battle.

Going back to his fall out with Matterson, he has also fallen out with Anderson, but John Sharp, Nathan Brown and Ian Millward all got good stuff out of him. I think his picking Cas over Wakey & Bulls (which he did) would in part be because of Millward.

Adds depth to the squad, plus he's English.

Certainly adding some size/aggression into the squad.

With Webster, Rangi, Huby, Millington, Hauraki and Mason in particular, looks like we'll have some fight next season.

He likes to party and will be a ok player.

To be fair to him - he only played twice for us in his last stint because of the issues between him and Matterson

1 year deal is a good option imo, puts him in to automatic "play for a new contract" mode and hopefully Millward can get some good out of him.

At the end of the day we need bodies with SL experience and he certainly fits the bill and is a definite improvement on Nash
