I wouldnt touch Westerman.

I'd be looking at somehow re-shaping our full front row with Dowes, Radford and Cusack to exit. Not sure how we'd do it as i dont think the quality is out there to make the wholesale changes. If we kept Dowes and Radford we'd need to bring a really special prop in as O'Meley cant keep carrying our go forward.

I think McCarthy Scarsbrook would plug that gap and why wouldn't you go near Westerman ?

Agree with you on that they aren't enough quality props available though.

I dont rate Westerman as any better than Whiting and Washy at 13 or 6. He had a great first year on the scene and is now showing himself to be an average and inconsistent player imo.

would like to think he'd be a different player in our team

Not as good as Whiting I agree but I think he's a better player than Washbrook at both 6 and 13, more creative and faster at 6, stronger and bigger at 13.

Not sure he'd bring anything.

The Westerman of year 1 maybe, the current Westerman no where near imo.

I'd tend to agree Dave tbh.

cas as a team aren't firing,so maybe this is against him a bit

But even in the games were Cas have been good over the last 18 months or so, he hasn't.

would just like to give him the chance to be able to play alongside some of our forwards

I'm not against us signing him as such, just that i can't see Cas letting all there stars go and so would rather we tried to get Shenton as the backs are in more need IMO.

If given a choice of any of there players i would rather take Chase.

I'd love to sign Chase too. But I believe he wants to head back to Aus.

=#8040FFHe signed a 3 year extension over the winter so I doubt that



As for Westerman you'd be looking at buying out the last 2 years on his ~100k a year deal, so It's either going to be 200k cash or cash + player (Washbrook/Moa?)

Well said fella

Chase I would sign in a heartbeat but Westerman I am not convinced about.

Not if TM wants rid!

Especially on 100k per year. I'd rather sign Graeme Horne back.

Cant be bothered trawling through 6 pages, But as i text a fan of yours a few weeks ago, The rumour is all around Cas that your buying out Joe Westermans deal, I know he has been mentioned on here, And as for not all that, Keep his feet on the ground and he will still be a star, With the right coaching, And thats the one reason he will Choose Hull its thought

With the right coaching? He won't want to be coming here then!

That's what I thought

so apart from speculation on this forum, who has proof that either Westerman or LMS wish to come to FC???

a bit o/t but i really would love to see Agar employ a ball-playing LF

i feel a bit jealous of rovers watching Ben Galeas passing sometimes and wish we could use our 13 as an extra pivot. for that reason i'd be surprised to see us sign westerman since his skills could be better used at a different team

i agree with people on here who feel that washbrook [icould [/ibe a really good LF for us and so could whiting but it's looking like we will never know

having said all of that our defence down the middle is awesome when fitz is involved so [uif [/uthe season goes well then i'll put my ball-playing LF argument to rest!

i rate westerman, especially alongside our forwards, very acomplished goal kicker too, anyone no why they were diciplined the other week.
