Quote: Stanley Unwin "I think Washbrook's a very good signing. I can't believe people are calling him crap, everytime I've seen him play for Wakefield this year, he's always looked one of their best players. Even more credible as I think its more difficult to stand out with credibilty when the team is getting mullered each week.
Hardworking, puts in plenty of tackles, has a bit of creativity, can provide some relief at hooker when needed. Like it or not, Danny Houghton is an 80 minute player. We aren't going with 2 specialist hookers anymore.
Washbrook will be cheap and will also add extra cap value as a club trained player. I can't see any downside to it, to be honest. A very astute signing.'"
I remember putting his stats up earlier in the season in comparison to Westerman - and he made more breaks, more tackle busts, more assists. There were more errors and missed tackles but you can base that on being on the end of some awful scorelines
