**Wests Tigers on the verge of signing clubless star Willie Mason**
THE Wests Tigers are on the brink of signing former Test forward Willie Mason.
And The Daily Telegraph has been told Mason, 32, could announce a new club sometime this week.
Newcastle was touted as another potential suitor but Knights officials are adamant their club is not interested in Mason, who has returned from a short flirtation with French rugby union.
Although deemed by some as a troublemaker, Mason is 194 cm (6ft, 4in) and weighs 115 kg (18st, 2lb) giving the Tigers additional size and strength in their pack.
The Tigers are preparing to discuss Mason's possible arrival with all their stakeholders, including sponsors and the players.
Although aware of Mason's on-field ability, there is resistance from some on the Wests Tigers coaching staff.
It is understood the Tigers would consider offering Mason a two-year deal, possibly as a second tier player.
Senior officials from rival NRL clubs already believe Mason has struck some agreement with Wests Tigers.
Mason has kept fit by undergoing a gruelling individual training program while waiting for an NRL club offer.
The Tigers have struggled up-front since losing Todd Payten (retired), Andrew Fifita (Cronulla) and Bryce Gibbs (Cronulla) in the past few months.
Australian prop Keith Galloway is also injured.
Rookie props Matt Groat and Aaron Woods have done a solid job but some feel they need the presence of a more senior front-rower in the club.
Mason's manager, Greg Keenan, was overseas and unavailable to be reached. Fellow agent Sam Ayoub is assisting Keenan in the negotiations.
Wests Tigers management will though be mindful how the club's fans accept Mason, should he sign. Mason has always polarised public opinion.
Wests Tigers' talks with Mason have come after the club initially claimed they weren't interested in the big forward, who previously played for Canterbury, Sydney Roosters and North Queensland.
But a couple of losses and a few injury concerns has put Mason back on the radar at Concord, although Tigers legend Steve Roach believes the club should look elsewhere.
"The Tigers need a front-rower. Willie is back-rower," said Tigers legend Steve Roach.
"The young blokes are doing a good job. They're just not ready for the impact of NRL yet. I think they are more suited off the bench. That's my opinion.
"The Tigers need a more experienced prop to absorb the early stuff. Their (prop) stocks are down but you just can't make Willie a front-rower."
The Bulldogs reiterated they have no interest in the former NSW forward.

Great logic tigers great logic go and sign Mason (it looks like) a washed up forward and a clown. exactly what was the reason for letting Fifita go? salary cap?? ohh yes the salary cap allowed them to sign Humble Reddy Blair and now Mason?? it makes no sense at all oh yeah and we let Mitch Brown go for so called salary cap reasons
I HATE when clubs use the salary cap for an exuse when it clearly isn't the reason for letting players go.

Brother I believed it. Whoever the hell you are in that team, you have not been wrong once. In the past - even over the likes of Brett Finch.
P.S - get your buddy Beauknowsforums posting on here more - he's played out of his skin this year… we won't bite... :mrgreen:
