Easily worth another year. .... he's not called super Ben for nothing .

I'm sure all the other second rowers have more "impressive" stats.. but Westwood is still the hardest player to put down second only to Chris Hill.

We don't have enough mongrel to get rid of him just yet. ..

I see Benjamin Julien as his long term replacement...so we don't have to offload him yet and nor should we.

Benny isn't finished but he looks out of condition with extra weight. I'll not be too hasty to judge after seeing Joel turn it around.
At this time are there many of us who wouldnt swap Lineman for Joel this season or Johnstone at Wakey under present form?

Westwood started the season very well - in fact he won the 1st players player of the month award.

Dont under estimate the operation(s) he had on his ankles - he returned 2-3 weeks earlier than expected and is still on catch up from missing 4-6 weeks training

In fact dont be surprised if hes not in the squad / team this week

I'd rather have lineham as things currently stand, How has Joel turned anything around? has he scored loads more tries this season than Lineham? Solomona is scoring all their tries he would definitely be worth a punt. Johnson is a top prospect but he still has a lot to prove, I think he is at the best place for him for the time being although i expect that he will have a lot of offers from other clubs for next season. Lineham will improve under smith and he is already at a good starting point and scoring tries for us.

His poor goal kicking cost us the game against Saints, get rid now !!!
