One penalty a game, on average isn't good and I'd agree that he needs to improve that.
Errors I don't pay that much attention to, as it completely depends on what kind of errors, really. He probably committed four of his errors against Rovers playing out of position, and two of those the Rovers player had a hand in while he was affecting the pass (yet more Ganson missed). Also, he's used on the end of a flat crash pass quite often, which I think are the hardest to take.

I don't know why people have this negative attitude towards Westerman, (Not you in particular) he's been consistently our best forward this year, yet gets little or no recognition for it.

Why Nicklas?

M. Paea, Fakir, Flanagan & Hanbury.

Job done, because obviously it's as easy as that.

Heremaia isn't OOC.

Not been impressed with him from what I saw last year. Maybe worth keeping as cover but on saying that he doesn't seem to be in Gentle's thoughts this year even though we have problems in the halves so is there much point in keeping him if we're not going to use him?

Move over Shaun McRae there's a new DOR in town

Heremaia's third year is optional isn't it?

Isn't he injured?

Should we go for Beharrell ,as a backup 7? Lulia is a good centre - apart from Paea, there isnt a lot of props available.

Elbow injury I believe.

I was under the impression he'd been a regular for York so far this season?

When Nicklas has been in the first team, he's been rubbish. When I've seen him for what was the u20's, he's been rubbish.

He's rubbish, get rid.

Stop sitting on the fence, what's your opinion of him??

I would like us to get Paea - but he doesnt play long enough for me - even Moa was sometimes capable of longer stints when needed, which I haven't seen Micky do

Moa has started every game for the roosters so far this season ,and has put in some big minutes on the pitch.Dosent manage to break the line very much though,which he did regularly for us.

According to their rosta stats an interview I read he's dropped almost 10 kg, probably explains the minutes and impact thing.

And the defences are slightly better?

No Westy bashing here but I say it as I see it as I'm sure you do too. I think Lynch has been better than Westy albeit in a different position and Whiting as well who is asked to do all sorts of things outside of being a second rower. As I say I like Joe's spirit and I'll applaud the good stuff he does but he needs to cut the errors and penalties. Recognition comes from making the difference in games and I don't believe it's a mistaken lack of recognition with him that you imply. If he was our best forward he would get the plaudits and be talked about as a top player who influences games. At the moment he hasn't reached that level. He's not the only one and I don't pick on him - I already commented on two other forwards in the derby who were way below standard and worse than Westy in all departments. If he wants to make the step up to top level he has areas of his game that need significant improvement but his spirit is admirable.
