What does the Westerman £40k thing mean ? Are Wire after Thomson ? Or does Joe want to come back here ??

Apparently Westy wants to come back to Hull but Hull and Wire can't agree on a transfer, but Westy has offered to pay £40k for the fee. Or that's the rumour at least. Personally wouldn't have him back, he gets in the way more times than not when he plays as a ball handler.

I think when he did that at Hull, it was because we had nobody else really. At Warrington, especially last season, he looked very good with 2 good halves in the side.

I think as a wide running second rower he would be a good option

Westy would/could fit in to the ball playing second row role Mini has been playing this season. His biggest weakness is how much he tries to force plays that aren't on or just one man army it, which I hoped would have been coached out of him.

I don't think we've missed him one bit. Getting fees for him and Lineham was an excellent piece of business.

I'd be happier with Turgut and Hadley getting more time than Westy coming back.

If Ellis retires we could do with an experienced mature player though. Someone like Glenn Stewart maybe?

Mention on twitter of a 2 year deal on the table from wakey for hadley

Re: Recruitment and retention : Tue May 09, 2017 5:37 pm  

We should turn it down

Re: Recruitment and retention : Tue May 09, 2017 6:10 pm  

I'd keep Hadley and can't see why we would let him go unless there has been s fall out.

On Westerman I asked the question a few weeks ago when he was at the reserves game, would you sign him back, I would, good player for us, particularly when used right and has played well for Warrington, don't see it happening though.

Please not westerman , took us long enough to get rid of him. Could be a couple of nz players looking for an escape to super league
