I don't think anyway has claimed he has signed, we are just discussing the rumour and hanging out to see if there's an announcement.

I may be in the minority here but I still think we a prop short and he would be a decent pick-up for minimal outlay.
Obviously it is a risk due to potential negative publicity, but has Mason really done that much wrong lately? IMO most of his serious misdemeanors were a very long time ago. More recently his only crime is that he is thick as two bricks. Unless of course you count pissing on the street after a big night out, which I don't. And if you did take that into account, I would point you to our current 20s coach who has topped that quite significantly.
Delete his Twitter account, tell him to shut his mouth and stay out of the papers and he will be fine. He played some decent football at the Cowboys, still hits the line hard and strong in defense. May have lost a yard of pace but would still make a significant impact as a bench player for us, IMO.
He is linked to the Knights and us, interestingly coached by Bennett and Sheens. That says a fair bit, IMO.

Hybrid we are definitely a prop short. Maybe even two props short as we lost two and gained a 2nd rower !!!!
Groat is still very green.
If we get injuries to our front towers we are stuffed.
Masons signature is vital.

Yeah I agree, just when you think you have enough props buy another one.
We got Bell… And a 2nd Rower who can play Prop.
But you are right, We are a man up front light!!
Not that Fifita did much last year, (And shouldn't take much to replace)
AND we still came 4th.... If we replace him with Mason and stay Injury Free....
THE REST WON'T STAND A CHANCE!!

thinking about it now…
Dear GOD what a pack we'd have.
Woods, Galloway, Ellis, Mason - All MASSIVE boys.
Blair, Ellis, Fulton, Heigno - all 80 minute players.
Farah as good a hooker as I have seen since Benny Elias
Its trememdous.
then we have Marshall leading them around the park, a hungry Tuqiri, then Lawrence, and then Ayshford hitting careeer best form at the end of last year.
Moltzen will be motivated as well, and will combine brilliantly with Marshall.
Honestly guys if we can't win it this year, then when are we going to win it next?

We can win it. As far as we are concerned we have ticked all the boxes that we can.
But will we win it? That's a completely different question all together and he way I see it, you still need lady luck on your side to get to the GF and win it. And only time will tell in that regard.

Still not sold on the Mason thing, everyone says we a prop short, not so convinced. Last year saw the evolution of the small mobile high work rate frontrower, okay you dont have four of them, but you can get by with one or two. What Iam saying is their are plenty of players in the lower grades who could play that role if push came to shove. Mason is going to hold back a player like BMM who will than start to look at other options in 2013.
Time will tell but I think we have all the experience in the world now and what we need is some young legs to start getting some experience because these guys who will be asked in a year or so to take over.

If he does sign plus having Blair in the team will be interesting to see our stats on off loads. It's been our weakness for a few years and considering how we play it would bring another dimension to our attack. Dominating tackles would also improve IMO.
