The rest of the stuff in that post is speculation based around things already in the public domain.'"
fair point, i especially like the bit about the authority he simply shouldn't have, I wonder if leneghan has sold his harlequins shares yet? |

| Quote: JMR "As I understand it, you are only half right here.
Hull FC did sound out Westerman as early as last summer, but only as a possible replacement for Fitzgibbon.
When Fitzgibbon opted to stay for a second year, Agar strongly disagreed with paying a hefty transfer fee for a player who was no longer required (for 2011) and who would be available for nothing at the end of the year!
He - rightly in my opinion - wanted to put those resources into securing a top-class halfback and take Westerman next year for nothing!
This was over-ruled by Gary Hethrington who believed the club would face competition from a number of other clubs who would have more room for manouvre salary-cap wise next year.
So, Westerman doesn't really fit into Agar's plans for this year at least - and it is showing!'"
We wouldn't have got Westerman when his contract expired for nothing or indeed at all . Other clubs, including Saints, were sniffing round him. That's why we decided to move when we did and were willing to pay a fee. |

you can't know that for a fact just because james rule says so, its well documented you got sean long ahead of wigan by offering a more attractive deal, i would have thought o meley and fitzgibbon would have had other suitors apart from yourselves as well. sure you might have had to up his contract offer to beat other competitiors but would have saved on the 6 figure transfer fee. |

Ok I'll put it another way. There was no guarantee we would have got Westerman when his contract expired. That's why we moved when we did and paid a fee.
A bigger contract offer may not have been enough to secure him in the face of an offer from someone like Saints. |

The difference being that O'Meley, Fitzgibbon and Long already have collections of winners' medals, Westerman does not. At other clubs he could end up that way as well as being well-paid. |
