When at cas he looked like he was going to be a world beater, but didn’t kick on in my opinion.Im Sure the club won’t have broke the bank for him ,and have got themselves a decent player

Wants four quality players yet happy to waste money on Westerman.

Could be worse, we could be paying half a million pound per annum for an overweight Aussie that gets binned for dissent more frequently than Brough

I have trust in our management to get the best value for our playing squad, they have done a good job so far, lets put some trust in them.

Hull did offer him a contract but we have offered more.

This could all be coach speak to try and hasten some signatures for next season.
However, we certainly need some more grunt in our pack.
At the moment, we are far too reliant on Fifita having a good game.
A forward with a quality offload would be top of the list., plus a real quality HB.

Interesting that we are talking about 6 out and 4 in.

If we'd had 2 fewer players this season, we may not have had a full 17/19 for some games.

Well how did he end up signing with them then?

Neither do we, isn't that exactly what this thread is about? Getting rid of 5-6 players so we can replace them with 4 more?

Think Westerman still has plenty to offer on the pitch. Happy to see how he goes.

Re: 5 to 6 Out & 4 In : Thu Jun 13, 2019 2:16 pm  

With all said I'd be happy with Westerman, brings a lot of experience with him.

Yep, on less money than both us and Leeds were offering.
