He needs to leave Cas to move on. 100%

Danny Orr left it too late, hope Joe doesn't make the same.

Just been announced on bbc. I'd have liked to have seen him at Leeds, but looks like Hull have paid alot of money out for him.

Six figures for a guy in the final year of his contract, and who had already told his current employers that he would not be extending is crazy....

"Credit to Hull though for their ambitious plans to become the best team in Humberside. Still a long way to go, but it's a start."

Do me a favour - we are by the far the best team on Humberside! We've just paid good money for a good young player who should give us years of good service. Contrast that with Hull Kingston Roosters who will get nowhere near the same value for money from Willie Mason - if indeed he ever gets a Visa and work permit.....

I for one don't really care if you are the best in humberside or not. He is still young and has the potential to come back, but that said I am so glad he didn't come to us!!!!!

I wonder where they got the money from?

Pimpin' aint easy

bleeding us loyal fc fans dry for the last 3 seasons and finally spending some money we've pumped into the club via merchandise and over priced admission fees!

I wasn't aware that you'd been racking up impressive profits.

Airlie the cat were on earth do you get the idea that your the best in the City of Hull don't thinks so whoopey do you beat us twice in the league but we beat you when it mattered most, Westerman aint gonna win you the Grand Final on his own i remember Longey saying that he was gonna be the saviour, watch this space for next season...........

You have just paid out out 150.000 for a player who was in the final year of his contract and has hardly been tearing up trees for the last season or so, i grant you the fact that he is young with potential, however, he will need to get his attitude sorted out otherwise he could end up just another has been before he's even got started, believe me, during the past 40 years ive seen many a promising player fail to reach their potential simply because they believed to much in their own hype and had issues of the field, as for getting value for money,well thats a no brainer, Westerman is young but currently with, an apparent attitude problem and everything to prove, hence from a marketing point of view he's unlikely to add anything significant to Hulls commercial outlets, at least not in the short term, wheares Mason, who according to the Aussie press, Was back to his best form toward the end of their season and is still a prominent name in the rugby league world, he will almost certainly add significantly to the commercial side of Hull Kr, the extra mechandise alone that will be sold as a result of his signing will go a long way to recouping some of Rovers innitial outlay.

As for the best team in the city, give your head a bang and then ask yourself, among other things,who has won the most games since our two teams started competing in the super league including the magic weekend and playoff games?.

apparently Cas didnt want to loose him like Shenton without a transfer fee. apparently he is one of Hull`s highest ever transfer fees for a 20 year old time will tell if he is to be a great player winning trophies with Hull or will it just be plaudits?

he needed to move for his own career development. good deal for cas too

£1m in merchandise sales within 12 months may have helped.
