Westerman would be a good fit,garbage attitude and likes the lotion.Yep sounds good enough to join this mob

I’ve thought this for a while now and I think we are genuinely going for Gale. He is down the pecking order at Cas now, with them looking at Fages. Can having a good kicking game but too crocked for me, also how the hell are Warrington fitting under the cap? Surely they are up their old tricks again.

George Burgess is being let go by Souths to make room for Alex Walmsley or Luke Thompson, according to League Weekly.

It also mentions we've outbid Cas for Westerman

Funnily enough I heard a fella in the south stand bogs on Thursday saying, quite adamantly, that we were signing Luke Gale. MAYBE THERES SOMETHING IN IT.

I'd rather we didn't sign him as he is absolutely sh-te

I expect George will stay in Sydney even if he leaves Souths. He's certainly dropped behind Tom nowadays.

I know there’s uk interest but I’m sure he said he wants to stay in the NRL preferably.

I think Westerman would be very good signing, when he plays we look a better side, scored a lot of trys this year and works very hard, particularly in defence, maybe not as flash as he once was but an 80 minute player.

Negatives, would be he he seems to pick up a few injuries and misses a few games and possible his attitude, will be his 4th club in 2 years and the state in which he was when he joined us was embarrassing (Although he quickly got himself fit)

Massive improvement to what you have in your backrow.

Only reason he is leaving as we won't offer him the same contract as other clubs.

Why on earth would we want to sign Luke Gale ffs?
Another like Watkins who will be coming back from a season long injury and look at how Watkins is playing.
Gale 3 years ago would have been my choice but certainly not now.

People can come back from long injuries, and stronger. I am not suggesting go for Gale like, as their is better options. Watkins problems IMO have nothing to do with this injury now.
