I think he'll reach about the same level as Sinfield.
Sinfield gets bagged but wasnt he something like Leeds' youngest captain to take them to a final, problem being at Int. lvl he's simply not big enough and is basically a failed standoff but if JW becomes within 25% of the player Sinfield is he'll be a top player.
I really like him but he's a different type of player than Ferguson, i'd personally rather have JW, classier.

Quote: i8no-one "I like Fergie big time, and in the past have been sick to the back teeth of listening to how good Westerman is, but any of my fellow Wakefield fans who think Westerman is Crap need to wire their testicles up to a truck battery. FFS that kid has bags of talent, and IMHO for most part of what I have seen this year was played too much down the middle, more so because of that pillock from new zealand you bought.

Westerman is a massive talent, and needs to develop in a way that suits his style, and will kick on next year IMO. I dont think he will ever be another Paul Sculthorpe, but he will be better than Lockers, Sinfield, Wilkin, Purdem, and Langley.'"


More or less spot on with that post. He needs a class coach and class players around him before he can reach the heights of Sculthorpe in my opinion. Worrying comparison with Sculthorpe at Westys age was he wasn,t used as a 35 tackles a match, take it up down the middle forward. He played a lot of his early career from stand off (from memory). That's got to be a help developing skills. At the moment Westy isn't getting the chance.

I remember Sculthorpe as a kid at Warry and if I remember correctly he was used quite wide as you saw with Westerman last year.
I can definately see a comparison between the two although Scully was probably a bit more aggresive defensively if memory serves me right, it was a loong time ago..I was about 10 icon_lol.gif

What's Westerman's natural position? 6, 13 or second row?

To me he looks like a 13 but I only see him on Sky and not every week.

Fergi is an out and out second rower so you can't really compare them. Both excellent young players who should have been in the England train on squad, not to play but just for the experence.

At the minute I'd say he's a loose forward, but personally I think he would make a cracking centre.

At youth level he was a 6/7, for us he has mainly been a loose forward but has also filled in at second row and at 6.

Thats not the worst call ive ever heard.
Sometimes teams want to get their best players more in on the action though, thats why i cant see Westerman moving from 13

He'd be awesome in the centres, just look what he can do now when he gets the chance to run out wide icon_exclaim.gif

Ammended accordingly.

It's a sin to even compare Westerman to a young Paul Sculthorpe, or Andy Farrell for thoe wishing to do so. Ben Westwood or Rob Purdham maybe.

Pah, he'd need to oust Widders first and we all know what he can do.
