i dont understand what the big thing with him is. he is just a dirty nasty player and is just gonna be throwing punches on the field

I have only seen him go toe two toe once TBH.

Every sport needs a pantomime villain. Big Willie just happens to be one of RL best known ones.

Personally i cannot wait to see him play.

What ever you say about him its Something positive in the game at last, instead of talk of RU and other unconfirmed negative stuff currently going around

Looking forward to seeing him play

He is no more dirty than other players in the super league yeah he has had his moments again like others but there is no taking away he is a great player and sounds like a genuinley nice guy, so if you dont wanna watch him then dont simples..................

Well said

Totally agree. His arrival has gained some press in the short term and will gain some more in the longer term with him seeming like he's going to be calling out opposition players for scraps every 2 minutes.

He's like a WWE bad guy and talks a load of t*ss but good on him. He comes across as being as thick as 2 short planks but he's good value and i'm looking forward to watching him battle Peacock, Morley, Graham, Perry, Fielden, Lima etc etc.

The list could go on and on and on.

i think that the whole fielden vs mason thing is being bigged up too much it aint gonna happen this yr anyway and i think that it is more likely to be mason vs lima i think which will be fairer

Nicky i noticed you dint mention any of the Giants forwards

mind you i dont think i would want to mix it with any of them,

they are proper tough guys.

Let's keep biggin it up draw in the attention of the crowds and the media we need to have more of this in the game

For one I don't condone fighting but a bit of trash talk is setting it up nicely !

I reckon he's thick reet road !

Who's the harder Mason?.....theres only one way to solve that...........Fiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Keith would hammer him.....honest

He's an has-been, coming over for a final pay day.

I wonder if Ryan Bailey would confront him

mason vs o meley in the hull derby could be interesting (they are mates off the field)

Hes come for a holiday at the solicitors expense!!!

Only if Rob Burrow is in front of him for protection.

I think people are putting far too much emphasis on the potential 'Mason v Fielden/Peackock' Round Two.

Talk it up ! he's come over with a reputation That people will want see challenged, about time we had this level of interest in players and the game as a whole

he has required a Tongan passport so he doesnt take up room on the overseas quota? Since when was Tonga part of this country. What a joke!

Tbf by rights the quota should be against UK employment law anyway (deliberately discriminating about the amount of people of a certain nationality that are allowed to be hired) so do you really expect them to have a thing that makes any actual sense?

I'm sure I noticed some bookmakers offering low odds on Mason getting a red card on his debut.

NOT the reputation a player should have.
