Can see the similarities, of course Westy is nowere near as effective as Cooke yet and apart from his very early days Cooke played exclusively as a stand off even when he was named or had 13 on his shirt, If anything I'd compare him to a younger, injury free Chris Chester, a type of player who can link up with the three quarters from the back row, we have also lacked that type of player.

Good shout re Chester. Hope he has better injury luck.

Are you basing this after the one performance on Friday night?? What about the previous 3 were he has failed to impress?

No negativity please Bugs, we need to forget and move on now



For the record he will impress more at 13 imo

basing this in two year time when he is first choice england lf

Sorry didn't realise you could see into the future, can you let me know if it is worth wasting my time going to Wigan next week

To be fair to Westerman, its going to take a while for him to find his feet at FC, he was a long time at Cas. Been getting better and better each game, as have FC, strangely enough.

As long as he doesn't replace Crooke's off field performances.

your not wrong mate

good praise comparing him to chester - chester was an excellent player when fit
