As a couple of other Hull fans have said, Westy has been great for us this season. Added another dimension to our attack, consistently strong carries, scored plenty of trys, and always working hard in defence. The only down side is that he seems to pick up a few knocks over the past year. I'd be disappointed to lose him though.

Exaggerated salary is that. He's not earning more than Shaul, Houghton etc. He hasn't had international honours either.

How do you know what his contract is worth?

Try reading my post again,I've tried to make it a bit clearer this time though



I thought that it was common knowledge in RL circles that if any players choose to move over there to Humbersaaaard that they demand an extra £30 grand for the inconvenience of living in Bransholme

Yes that’s much clearer, well done



So you actually don’t know anything regarding Josh Jones contract.


For your information Bransholme is in east Hul.

did we not go in for Josh Jones; who's going to Hull FC next season? I don't know why we didn't go for George King before the start of the season either. He's in Wakefield's 17.

Playing Cameron Smith & Sutcliffe is depressing!

We were in for him.......according to League Express/Weekly a couple of weeks ago. They were reporting we were favourites to get him, though over clubs were after him as well. He obviously didn’t fancy us and/or Hull FC offered him more???

Don’t despair though.....the fact Hull have got Jones means we are quite likely to get Westerman off them



Every cloud lol

I've heard that Gale has signed for next season. Makes sense, as think Cas are moving for Fages from Saints.

I would have preferred Jones over Westerman, but we could do with 2 gun backrowers anyway. I've always liked Ashurst at Wakefield, good athlete and runs good lines. Whatever happens, I don't want to see Ferres in a Leeds shirt next year. One of the most disappointing signings I can remember, given the reputation he had at Hudds.

We should be signing Fages if that's the case.

Yep.

Gale's done well to pass a medical

Gale rumours have been doing the rounds for a few years now, why would we suddenly actually sign him when he is 4months into a serious injury off the back of a serious injury last season? I can't believe our recruitment would be that naive, especially given how awful Kalum has been this season so far after his serious injury.

As for Westerman, he could have been anything he wanted early on. I think there is still a great player in there but as a club we are not in a position to be actively recruiting possible bad apples into what already feels like a fragile dressing room.

I'm not sure either of these rumours have real legs.
