Castleford Tigers have announced the signing of prop Keith Mason on a one year-deal from Huddersfield Giants. Castleford Tigers head coach Ian Millward said, “I was in search of an experienced forward who could offer a presence both in training and on the field and Keith fits that bill. Having previously coached him at St Helens, I know him to have one of the best work ethics in the game; he commands respect from his peers and will no doubt have a positive impact on the team. “I am confident that Keith still has some of his best years ahead of him which should also create some healthy competition between the forwards as we gear up for next season.

Thought he might go to cas with him working with ian millward before..

Glad he has his immediate future sorted.

He had offers from other clubs bit surprised he went there,lets hope he dunt come back to haunt us.

It's an absolute. When Mase runs in against our pack there will be major fireworks.

Heard likes to party so will fit in with Chase and the boys.What seen not a bad player but nothing special.

If you get the 2011 vintage Keith back,you have a top forward on your hands.He can't do it all on his own though.

Glad he has got something sorted and might not be a bad move for him.

Signs are Cas will improve this season but how much is another matter, Daryl Clark fit all season could make a massive difference too.

Fielden and mason round 2

Remenber which one to cheer on this time round

Good job Cas have a good pack then!

Adds some good depth to the front row but pushes some good younger players down a spot too.

Beat our pack hands down last season at your spot so no-ones gonna argue with you on that point!

Hopefully Anderson has addressed that issue for this season, he has certainly added some size, strength, weight and aggression so think he knows where Brown got it so badly wrong.

Here here and as the great Artie Beetson once said "bring back the biff"

Hopefully teams will know they have had a game this season after playing us and if they do beat us they will have suffered and bloody earned it.
