Just this season, I've said very good things about Chris Green, Jez Litten and Hadley. In the past I've said positive things about Reece Lyne and Jordan Abdul.

Tom Briscoe and Lineham, another two players who I was disappointed to see leave.

If players deserve credit they will get it, if Westy had the attitude of Green or Pitts he would be one of the best back rowers in SL.

I'll ask again, why has Westerman had do many different clubs in the last few years?

Most of his moves have been Clubs cashing in on the last year of his contract and Clubs offerings fees for him.

ATEOTD if his attitude isn't right he won't play, it's not as if we're short in the back row. The days of clubs offering 150 grand for his move are gone and at nearly 30 this could be his last decent contract, so it's up to him.

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

Re: Westerman signs : Wed Sep 25, 2019 4:30 pm  

Happy with this, good player.

Its a shame he never properly kicked on, he looked like the next Sculthorpe when he broke through.

:lol: So you are saying that I'm that angry that about us not making that play offs (which we certainly didn't deserve) that I'd come on here to mention Westermans bad attitude. At least Connor shows passion but gets frustrated, his effort cannot be questioned he sometimes try's to hard.

Why has Westerman had so many clubs recently?

If I had sour grapes I wouldn't be saying he is a good player. Let's see if Chester can get the best out him.

No conner doesn't show passion he shows a completely childish attitude in winding players up rather than concentrate on the game, this was evident in the last game where he got sin binned

Maybe he's had enough of radford, maybe there is unrest in the hull camp as all season you blow hot and cold

Re: Westerman signs : Wed Sep 25, 2019 5:08 pm  

Connor has had enough and doesn't want to play at Hull

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.

I guess we'll see when he gets here.
We've done well with players who didn't show the right attitude at previous clubs.

We have others so he is not guaranteed to play.
But I like what he potentially can do for us so let's see whether Chester can develop it.

For me it’s more the case that this is his standard response to every player who leaves Hull despite his denying it.

As for Westermans attitude, he’s played a lot of games for a player with a bad attitude. In my experience players with a truly bad attitude as opposed to those who have a personality and a life outside the game don’t last as long as this lad. Just a thought.

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.

Looking forward to seeing him play for us - hope he stays injury free......
and maybe he will fit in well at Wakefield as many others have who couldn't make their mark or fit in elsewhere........
