Mason also tore his pectoral muscle in the first game of the 2010 season

Huddersfield Giants prop Keith Mason could face a long lay-off after picking up a groin injury in Sunday's defeat by Castleford Tigers.

The Giants coach Nathan Brown said: "He's in a lot of pain, there's something definitely wrong with him.

"We've just got to hope it's a minor thing, but we get Eorl Crabtree back next week, so if Keith needs a few weeks off, he needs a few weeks off."

Giants prop Crabtree is returning from ankle ligament damage.
