Quote: The Clan "Sculthorpe played many of his early games as a stand-off!
Let's not get all rose tinted about Paul Sculthorpe, he took time to develop just like any other player and eventually became world-class.
Joe Westerman has massive potential and could develop along very similar lines as Sculthorpe but he will need better coaching than Terry Matterson seemed to offer him this year.
Dale Ferguson is a different kind of player and would no doubt hold his second row place down in any super league team. He will get better and could even make an international. However I think Joe has greater potential, Whether he will realise it or not is another matter.'"
Dont forget it was matterson who made him into the proffesional player he is now. Joe hasnt had his best year but he hasnt had a bad one, and considering his head injury at the start of the season and the fact that he will have been much more marked this year i think thats understandable, remember he's still only 19, so he is going to have over a decade of better years in front of him.
