Don't know if this has been posted before, told on Saturday that Westerman is keen to sign for us with the clubs negotiating a fee. Anyone else heard this?

I heard he likes a drink so he's a couple of years too late.

I heard this too. Interesting. Who is leaving Warrington at the end of the season? He's not lived up to his 'future Scully' billing as yet, but its difficult to at a small club with no ambition so the parallels are there with when Scully joined Saints.

I hope it's true, a quality loose forward is what we need. They could have done some sort of deal with Mathers had this come to light sooner.

There's always got to be a snipe, hasn't there.

I believe Vinnie Anderson, Matty Blythe and Richie Mathers are the only players not contracted for next year.

Been banded around for afew weeks now. I understood that Mathers/Westerman is a deal. Personally i wont believe until i see the whites of his eyes

Not really, you must be a glass half empty kind of guy, unlike me. I see the positives in my saying you are now a big club and Cas are the small club.

Blythe for me has found his level so i'd release him, he's always looked like a rabbit in the headlights in the Wire team under TS.

Hope this is true. Future star.

Blythe to Leigh and with Penny seemingly out of TS's plans that would free up the room for Westerman easily i would think. Is Vinnie staying another year ?

Vinnie is one of three players not contracted for next year. If Vinnie does leave then Westerman would be a logical replacement.

Westerman would be another accomplished goal kicker.

Well if it's true we have another great kicker in the side at least

posted in july when mathers said he was going to cas ithink he can come a good player under t/s

Don't you have to release at least one overseas player to bring in Brett Hodgson?

Vinnie Anderson is in contract talks with Salford.

No - when announcing the Hodgson signing the club included some small print along the lines of "players meeting certain criteria are extent from the over-seas quoted"

It was generally considered this referred to Solomona but no definite explanation was given.

we don'y need to adhere to either the salary cap or the overseas quota rules.

we are the mighty wire

Would be delighted if we signed westerman,always been a big fan of his and hes only a young lad isnt he?

Surely a big fan would know whether he is young or not.

there is always one,i meant a big fan of his ability

I am of the opinion there is no excuse not to sign him.

He is quality. We need another good loose forward and a good kicker. We shouldn't stop till we have his sig on the dotted line

I don't really know his game too much but **may sound stupid** could he come in for Briers. He is getting old too. Joe could learn a lot from him.

I'd have him. He's 20 so this would prevent Rogues crying over signing a player "over 30".

You could always try developing your own, or is that a strange concept?

That Paul Sculthorphe wasn't half a good lose forward.
