Well, you've proved my point with your silly opening jibe, for a moderator that's poor, conversation over

I'm not a moderator.

Still waiting for examples, I've given you plenty of players who I've given credit to when they have left Hull.

in fact I think I've given a fairly balanced view of Westerman, saying he is a good player.

Don't really understand why Dave K is copping flak. I think he's made some valid points and I cannot disagree with there being a question mark on Westerman's attitude as there has always been so to my knowledge. He is however a good quality rugby league player and I'm happy with the signing. I think he will imrove our team overall. I also think he does look like he's put some timber on.

Finally (along with a couple of others) can see what I'm saying and doesn't resort to to calling me petty and talking about Connor (which I'm n sure has to do with this)

Agreed on other points,

What did raise my eyebrow a bit was when he was asked about looking forward to pre season training and he seemed to brush over the subject not the usual “can’t wait to rip into it “or words to that affect .likes been said a quality player who will only enhance our on field capability if his attitude and fitness are right .

I think we should all try to allow players who sign for Trinity, to start with a clean slate. To me, it doesn’t matter what reputation they have at previous clubs, it’s how they preform in a Trinity shirt. Give them a chance and we judge them as a Trinity player, not on previous reputations.

You and Snowie took a shot at him first. You can't complain when he takes a shot back.
Just leave it alone now before I have to lock another perfectly normal thread.
This is about Westerman.

Shame you don’t defend me and a few Trinity fans with the same gusto, but hey we move on.

My missus always gives me a load of stick when we sign someone who I've slagged off prior to signature because all of a sudden I love 'em. Broughy being a good recent example.

There are some players out there who would take some acceptance though. Hardaker being a good example. Would never want us to take Greg Johnsone back.

Agree. Let's see how he goes. Will have my full support in the RW and B.

Agreed.
I think most players should be given the chance to prove themselves in Trinity colours, however there are some I would take exception to. These are definitely two of them.

I think I'm on the same page.
The only one I think I got wrong was Cockayne. I absolutely thought that was a bad move but we turned him around in a big way.
