Rather have a one trick Pony than a no trick piggy. As for Westwood, he's not in his very best form at the moment, but he'll come again soon.

i didnt look in isolation if you look at the penalties per tackle made westwood is higher so to answer the original question yes i do expect you to believe that his discipline is worse than hocks

if he commits more fouls then his discipline is worse. its what it says on the tin.

we need to remember Benny's old tackling technique, which imo has improved massively. He is mr 110% which no one can knock. I feel as the team slowly progresses benny may find he is too much a loose cannon for the team.
As for the number 9 i feel he is good for 2 things. a) a slow ball and b) a flat ball. for me a hooker runs the line and gives the ball to the right man, leaving the defence guessing his move until the very last second. Clarke has not shown any qualities for me. we have far a better hooker on the bench in Higham, who changes our game immensly when he comes on. Clarke will always have a space in the widnes team while Cullen is there!

I rate BW highly ok every player has little dip in form now and again,but it does not make him a bad player overnight. The one area of his game which imo he could work on is off loading in tackle.
