Can only see him coming to play second row. Can't see us reverting to a ball playing loose forward anytime soon.

Jury still out for Abdul. He's playing mainly part time opponents. The middle eights will be a better gauge. Just have a feeling we won't see him back.

McCrae was a fine one to talk.

Wonder how long it will take for the HDM to pick this rumour off here?

Harsh. Had bad games, but he is a talented player and I always thought he put his all in while in the Black and White.

Very good player. But lacks the mongrel/edge of the likes of Taylor and Manu for me.

No, I think he shares many of the same flaws as Westerman, but I think he'd do it considerably cheaper with more attacking flair. A season of regular championship rugby should transform his fitness too.

Lack of consistency was always my bug bear with Westerman at Hull. Good player on his day, but those days were too few and far between.

I thought he wanted to go and join a bigger club to win trophys!!!! had an attitude while he was here, I always thought, he strutted around as though he was something that he was,nt

Hubby commentates on Warrington for Wire FM so sees Westy week in week out. When I asked him what he thought he said that if he could pick a player of the year right now it would be Westy without a doubt. Now I know that with Warrington's season so far that's not hard, but he says he's really been their one player who's created chances.

No for me, that ship sailed. Sadly my abiding memory is that defeat against Leeds where nearly every time he touched the ball it was an error. Capable but never quite delivered.

Can't see how Championship rugby will give JA fitness which all other regimes have failed to deliver ? Only he can sort out - hope he does but not holding breath.

I'll trust the club and Radford's judgement on this. If he wants him back, get him.

Consistency was an issue for Westerman, but don't think his attitude could be questioned on and off the field.

If Radford wants him and we can get him great, one of the better English backrowers and we have to replace Ellis, Mini in the near future.
