Not really designed to annoy Cas fans but hopefully might annoy Smokey Troll

These are two players I have touted as having similar ability levels. Well clearly they differ but there is only one way to find out...FIGHT! Just kidding, I was told by a certain Cas fan that Fergy didn't have young Joes X Factor. Stats don't seem to indicate this though they do highlight two players who are both similar and different.

Ferguson clearly has the power with a massive superiority in meters made and tackle bust. He is also clearly a better defender. Joe has clear edge on offloads and appears to have something of a kicking game and with two try assists appears more creative. Other stats are pretty similar.

All I can say is there is no evidence of Joe's X factor over Dale or if there is they both have it

could these off loads be lost balls that luckily been caught by a players passing

No contest for me - Fergy would walk into my side any day before Westerman.

Fergy is one of our stand out players this season to date and is turning into one hell of a player. He was simply outstanding at Hull KR.

Im greedy Fergy at 12 Westerman at 13 both great prospects

I would settle for that.

mike stevenson hasnt publicly wet his knickers over fergi so he musnt be better than westerman!!!



we'll see how good the pair of them are over the next couple of seasons...based solely on how much interest they attract from leeds !!!!

who will be the next gareth ellis....

that comparison is unfair westerman has 12 fingers

Probably explains the offloads

who he did he play for Dewsbury and Cas

dear wigan warrington and leeds

westerman is a far better player, stats say nothing, he has the wow factor think of the tshirt sales, go get him now or he may be sold to another club.

fergi is hugely overrated by his clubs own blinkered fans who should no better as all they spend their time doing is bickering on forums. big risk in my opinion, far better to go for the safe westerman option.

thank you

mr clarity

I know who JK thinks is the better player, heard him say so himself

Greg Bird, he wreeks of awesomness
