Not having a dig but back on topic.

The more I look at this signing the better it looks.

I had the impression Westerman was a bit of a loose cannon off the pitch, yet other than hearsay I see little real evidence unless I've missed some court case or similar?

He's actually only 29 will be 30 at the start of the season, probably past his very best but hardly past it as I thought he was.

He's also very versatile which tends to negate the age issue.

Also, he's not had that many clubs, the vast majority of his games at Cas and especially Hull, only Toronto stands out as a real oddity. So he must be a reasonably easy player to manage.

His stats are,

SL games - 320
Tries - 95
Points - 849

At first glance, not to be sniffed at. It's taken the best part of 11 years to finally get the lad and I'm fully accepting that it could all go horribly wrong but then that applies to most signings but I'm beginning to like this signing. At the end of the day we have the cover in those positions should it go bums up.

From an `off the pitch` perspective - He has settled down a lot recently, helped by the fact he has become a dad, yes he enjoys a quite beer in his local but nowhere near the heights of the past.

You should wait for the "mad monday" story to come out.

That applies to most of us, just getting there myself

Hulls or ours?

Do tell.

Lol it was a joke Vasty!!

FFS

Westerman or Dale Ferguson ?

I am not sure if it means anything but Sky and Betfred Super League have not covered the signing of Westerman??

Its on the BBC website.

Sorry must be missing something, what's Ferguson got to do with it? I don't think he's on our radar as far as the gossip goes, also thought he'd had a stroke recently, not sure what you mean?

I also heard Ferguson is a done deal.

With the horrendous after affects he suffered after the game down at BV I can’t see that happening.

Well I seriously doubt that. I doubt he will ever play again, you do know what happened to him?
