Magic.

Hopefully he will.

Well done and congratulations Joe!!!
...of course the down side of this is that it now means we are two of our better players short for the Saints game.

Congrats Joe. Just a shame he won't be able to play against Saints.

Westy not doing so well - told you.

That's why you shouldn't get over excited by youngsters and certainly don't label them as future greats it's fatal.


The test of the player will be how he comes back from the initial hype and really makes his name. For example I remember Shaun Edwards bursting on the scene then treading water for a while before bursting back and fullfilling his early potential. Sadly I can name countless young players who never bounced back and sank into oblivion or NL1/2 as it's sometimes known.

Don't think this will happen to Westerman, if nothing else his size will ensure him a future of sorts. That said I hope that he kicks on skill and determination wise and becomes a true star.

Congratulations to Joe on the call up and I hope he gets on the field.

I also hope O'Loughlin's not too disappointed - after all, no matter how well he might have played for England he'll never beat taking the one ring to Mordor and destroying it in the fires of Mount Doom. So well done for that Sean!

Is that what the injuries from? He had his finger bitten off and suffered some minor burns?

Oh and well done Joe. Hopefully he can make the team and put in a good performance.
