And what does everyone suggest with what money we have

Absolutely massive. He was the best 13 in SL for me last year, especially with his ball playing ability. He had a strong physical presence too in the middle.

As good as Westerman was individually, it hardly transferred to the team overall, in fact it wasn't until the end of the season when he featured less that we started looking like something of a team.

I never took Toulouse lightly, they have a bigger budget and better backing than we have, however I thought we would be better than how the season has unfolded so far, meaning we finish higher than a few of the English clubs. That's looking unlikely now and I cant see us getting enough wins to keep us up.

I say it every season, every game for us is a must win game as you just never know when we hit that brick wall , we simply dont have the luxury of buying ours out of trouble , the lad have to roll their collective sleeves up and work their way out of this sink hole we find ourselves slipping into . Still plenty of games in the bank but we desperately need to start looking like a competitive squad , we’re just all at 6s n 7s in our attacking structures whilst fairing a bit better in defence but nothing to write home about . Most of our tries have come from off the cuff moves instead of structured , we are easily defended against as everything is telegraphed and with the passing being clunky and no one willing or able to run onto the ball hard enough to drag defenders in and get our backs a clear run in .

From which games are we going to pick up our required wins?

That run in looks, in the most part, a nightmare. Obviously Toulouse at magic is a must. As i’ve put elsewhere i had Warrington at home as a target given we’ve done them 3 times since Willie took over but their new signings have just made that harder. Salford is possible, they blow hot & cold and are down on forwards. Hull KR x2 are the ones that might help, they’ve dropped significantly since Smith announced he was leaving. But none look bankers any more.
