westy could be a top player and i highly rate him but 1 reason why he isnt been used at 13 at the moemnt is his defence espcially 1 on 1 isnt good enough and has to improve long term he will be our 13 but can see tickle been played at 13 next year if fitz go. chris heighton would be a great signing can play anywhere in the pack and could replace both fitz and lauaki

Until the Chase rumour is dead, I'm hanging onto it, and hoping we've done a buy one get one half price deal as he and McKinnon share the same agent.

Westerman is as much a replacement for Fitz as I am. I like him as a ball player but if Fitz goes we need another serious grafter in the side to mop up the massive amount of work Fitz does.

Exactly,Once fitzy goes we will realise what a gap he leaves in our team

tickle at 13 next year with westy and manu in the backrow and lauaki rotating

Swain all over again in this respect, IMO.

Charlie Stone for me.

Kent, Cunningham, Green or Aldous, all deserve a shot sooner or later. Where was you yesterday?

For the person who mentioned Heighington, he is a fantastic player who I have admired for years. Not a chance he will leave Wests I wouldn't have thought.

Hopefully Scott Taylor will be a target and sign for us.

Not getting a game at the moment at Rovers, he must be disapointted after impressing to be dropped for the likes of Netherton.

Someone told me leeds and saints are talking to him.

Agar's comments on Phelps in the mail...

The signing casts doubt over the future of current full-back Cameron Phelps, who joined the club on a short-term contract earlier this year.

Phelps, who faces a spell on the sidelines having injured his hamstring in the defeat to Huddersfield at the weekend is already being linked with a switch to two other Super League sides, with Widnes Vikings a likely destination.

However Agar says his current full-back may still have a future at the club.

"Cameron is a very good professional and is very versatile," explained Agar.

"He can play full-back, wing and centre and his performances for the rest of the season will determine whether he is offered a new deal.

"Cameron provides us with great value in the salary cap and we could certainly be making him a new offer."

Well he is still part of the squad so going to say that so got something to play for but I don't see any chance of Phelps staying

Agree, Mariano's from Hull, reasonably young (24 I think), big, fast and can score a try. Could be a useful player and only (I assume) would be on a relatively small wage.
