Giving Ben Westwood a new contract just about sums up the level of ambition of this club

I despair

Great for Bennie. Not great for the Club

100% correct bet he couldn't get the pen quick enough to sign it. Not one other team with any ambition of at the top end of the league would've have dreamt of offering him a deal

On brighter news, against some of our more recent recruits in the forwards he still doesn't look too bad, compared say to : Cox, Bailey, Hughes, Savelio, Dodds, Westerman etc.

Don't really see the problem with this. He can still do a job for us. He won't be a regular first choice 17 player, and will probably sit as 6th choice prop option behind Hill, Cooper, Crosby, Sita and Philbin. I'm ok with it, assuming his salary matched his squad position.

I think plenty of clubs would have been interested for a player like that to provide squad depth.

Think that's a pretty fair summary of it, I get what others are saying but he won't be frontline if all others are fit.

Stop talking sense!!!

Don't forget Tiz Lad would moan if we signed the current oz front row, I think its ok as long as he is on a reduced salary.
Plus who else is available that we can sign for the money ????

His salary won't be on the cap due to length of time at club.

That said. I'd despair if he was a regular in the team next season.

He's worth another year.
The bloke man turn our season around after his return with one big hit. Ok he got a few weeks off but we beat leeds against thr odds.

Widnes, that showed class & ambition signing Rangi Chase. That went well at least we had a few more games out of Sandow

Not any more, that dispensation was removed a few years back.

I agree. I think he still has a lot to offer especially in the bigger games. Only one with a bit of biff.

Sorry!
