Are we comparing Green to the busted version of England. He was immense for us us in his first two and a half seasons, until niggles began to tell on him

Re: Warrington : Thu Feb 13, 2020 8:47 pm  

Agree about Green and Tangata two good forwards ,could not see what we gained by signing both Westerman and Pitts one mabe think money could have been spent on a better forward so we do not have to over play Fifta , Aron in every match so they do not get busted up and play all season

Re: Warrington : Thu Feb 13, 2020 9:03 pm  

Imo we have strengthened our pack considerably over last season ,for me pauli and hirst Just didn’t cut the mustard and poor old England gave his all but injuries caught up with him in the end .Tanginoa pound for pound is up there with the best ,we just need game time to get them all singing from the same Hymn sheet so to speak

Pitts replaced Pauli and Westerman replaced Annakin... great bit of business for me. Add into that Walker and Atkins and we are a lot stronger imo. Josh Wood looks good too, but too early to tell if hes better than Randell

I think (admittedly after one game) that Westerman will prove to be a great signing and will pick up a lot of MoS points through the season.

I've always liked him, I think he's underachieved generally at his other clubs though for me. When Arona comes back, where's he going to play?! I know it's an if, but if we get Fifita, Arona, Green, King all back in the next few weeks, we just seem to have an abundance of forwards in the squad. Navarette for a full season? A couple of years ago the team picked itself, we had real continuity, I don't think Chester knows his 'best' team when everyone is fit. It will be interesting to see in the coming weeks who gets left out completely.......

I think Westerman is a great signing if he can be consistent. A real handful and great offload game. Gives us another dimension and can be swapped out for any of the back 3. Chester not knowing his best side is a benefit, genuine depth all over the place.

I would like to see us make a game of it and get away from the predictable boring rugby we’ve been playing the past year or two.
