Can't say I've been impressed with Westerman during his time with us so far but hope that he can change that opinion now that he's set to play in his preferred position. As he has said: no more excuses.

In my opinion that actually strengthens his case. |

He has the potential to be a very good player. He is only 24. Forwards don't reach their peak until later in their career whereas backs can become very good at a younger age. He needs to buckle down and be more profeesional on AND off the pitch. He has the unfortunate 'West Yorkshire' culture amongst young players ( Watts, Cockayne etc) and I don't think Radford is the best role model for him. If he can change his attitude he can become the player you all want him to be.

Well you have complete agreement from me. |

Dead right. I know the transfer fee is not his fault, but he has NOT justified this massive outlay. At all. |

It's not his job to justify it. His job is to justify his salary. And while I don't know the exact value, I'd struggle to put him bottom of the list among our players for doing that. |

If we can get him playing similar to oloughlin and sinfield , I'd be very happy with that . Maybe radford wants joe to play the same role . I do think oloughlin and sinfield are wigan and Leeds most important players . If we can start saying the same about westerman we"ll have a very good player on our hands . The ability is there somewhere , just about proving it now .

I think a lot of the frustration regarding JW is that if you were to watch a highlights package of his final season at Cas and then compare it with all of his highlights in his full career at Hull, most of us would feel a tad shortchanged.

I have no problem with people opinions, even though this was obviously way over the top, but he should be man enough to come on here and admit he is wrong.
I have been wrong many times and will be many times in the future, so far I am certainly wrong about some signings like Feka and even Radford to some extent.
Even Jake is man enough to say when he might have been wrong.
