Because....
You hear a rumour Salford are in the market for a new player, but you've no idea who.
You look at their squad and decide which position(s) they look weakest in.
You think maybe second-row, maybe three-quarters.
You think 'who could possibly play both positions?'
You think 'which club might be looking to sell?'
You remember that Hull have hinted at money worries.
You look for second-rowers who could possibly play in the backs at Hull.
You see Joe Westerman's name.
And there's your headline.

Its Danny Kirmond

More likely Gareth Ellis

Heard a whisper westys off ta st George. 4 year deal.

Heard a whisper I won the lottery
