Not at warrington, I think Ratchford has started the odd game there, possibly Grix too, but predominately he has played a 3 prop game at Wire.

He obviously used Sinfield as a ball playing loose while coaching Leeds & Great Britain / England though

Why is Dodds a gamble?

Because he only made the bench for the NRL Grand Final; obviously.

So am I led to believe so far this last year we have enquired about rangi chase. .. Gareth hock, justin Carney and Joe Westerman. ...

What are we trying to create. ....?

the calibre of targets is right up there with the biggest wits the game has produced ....

Or its all bull

For some reason when I read certain posters posts I hear the voices of those 2 old blokes from the Muppets, Statler and Waldorf.

Just reading league weekly and it's no surprise to see nosey Parker is all over his, he seems to think we have signed him on a lucrative 3 year deal,make of that what you will.

League Weekly's main source of information are these forums.

So , Nosey Parker says he's signing for us, whilst Wikipedia says: "Despite interest from many clubs ahead of the 2016 season Westerman is likely to put pen to paper on a huge 3 year deal at Hull." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Westerman So which of these dubious sources do I believe ???

Parker is like an American missile strike, he fires enough to hit the right target occasionally.

Westerman I don't think has any major issues? so I would give him a chance, but the longer it goes on the less likely it will happen, so we could be adding him to Lillyman, Cronk, Ta'ai, Savelio plus a couple of others whose names escape me, that is a little bit worrying to me, some names I agree avoid at all costs but we can't sign all Mr Nice Guy's.

I'm with you a lot of names are on a persons wish list and pie in the sky I've been guilty of that once or twice, the club must be enquiring/approaching players after the end of season releases, there is bound to be leaks so hesitancy and or failure to get their man will add to a growing rumour list, especially as the squad is a little lightweight.

Westerman is yours. Leeds agreed terms with him and were his first choice but Leeds were not prepared to pay the £150k transfer fee Hull wanted and Hull wouldn't budge on that. You were happy to meet Hull's valuation and have agreed terms with the player

If that's true then I have no problems with his signing, Leeds and in particular McDermott were prepared/happy to sign him only the fee putting them off that being Leeds prerogative, I hope it works out for us.

The Mole @RLW_Mole
For all you @wolvesrl fans, Moley hearing u will sign Joe Westerman from Hull today

The Mole is normally right..

Obviously you are his agent. Thankyou for that very detailed and up to date information.

Cheers so it does seem to be happening typical Wire "oh let's wait until the ink's dry".

Moley also says Smith after losing out on Lillyman, the club are preparing to turn their attentions elsewhere, maybe he knows who, another rumour on its way.

Good job the salary cap doesn't apply to us.

With Simon Moran owning the club you can bet your bottom dollar that we will not be a penny over it.

46 pages on the Hull board, so looks like it will hppen.

I'd have liked a mongrel type player but not too many of those about.

Westermann has always had promise but not seen it develop yet.....

Most of that 46 pages, is about the management of the club

Bid turned down at weekend according to local rag tonight

What's the salary cap ?

its a funny looking hat with broccoli on it apparently.

I think we might push for fourth with what we've done. We do not have the centres (especially) nor the wingers to be a title winning team.
