Won't you be the one of the first desperados if we string a couple of early losses together?

You usually are Seb.

That will depend on the team that Gentle picks, if it's new combinations (as it appears to be) then I will haappily reserve judgement for 6/8 games, but if we go for the old stagers who have been found wanting for a few years then I'll be angry and frustrated. (Injuries aside, of course)

Get some moaning in early doors.
You might be banned again by mid-season?

The only reason people have been disappointed with Westerman is if they had unrealistic expectations IMO, pretty much based upon the fact that we paid a fee for him.

I would actually say that towards the end of both of his seasons with us he has been amongst, if not out on his own as, our best forward(s), and at no point would I say he has been amongst our worst players. The problem is that some people seem to think that £150k should mean that he should be winning games for us on his own and amongst the MOM contenders every week, when in reality it means no such thing. The ugly truth is that he is a very good player, and the reason we paid £150k is because the club realised that had they waited for his contract to end there was a very good chance that he would have done better than us at that time and gone elsewhere.

A real error amongst our fanbase is this strange belief that players perceived to be expensive should be miracle workers able to perform in any circumstances and without any fluctuations in form. There needs to be more contact with reality.

Can get Warrington at home (V Cas) -16.5 and Wigan away ( V Salford) -16.5 double at 1.47/1 on skybet, surely thats printing money can't see either Salford or Cas scoring more than 2 tries each and Wigan/Warrington will both score more than 5 tries
