Although rumoured to be going to cas, wakey or rovers, I predict joe westerman will be a Hull player by the end of teh day.

You heard it here first - Jake is always right

In 2 weeks?
It'll take 2 months for him to get back into shape.

As a Cas fan, I have heard the rumour but I hope it is wrong.

Not the type of player we need at this time.

I heard he was Wakefield bound, just glad it's not us he's linked with!

Touche.
Only one wezzy in our starting 17 last night.

HDM saying he wants to come back to Kc , personally hope not . Was happy when we got rid of him and Lineham big time Charlie’s .

Could well be a good move by Hull releasing Wattsy if Westerman is on his way back to Yorkshire. Don't thinks is a coincidence Watts as player improved massively once Westerman had left us.

Could have been a very good player but never seems to work hard enough to become the player that everyone thought he would be.

Well after hearing that Abdull probably won't play for us again (after what I posted in the Widnes thread), this may have some legs. Hope not though

I'll be surprised if we sign him especially after getting rid of Watts due to discipline issues. Speaking to several people in the Cas area he is indeed a Big time Charlie who will not fit in with the culture the club has cultivated.

His best position is a ball playing loose forward but we are well covered in that area. The only possibility is that he could sign on loan with a view to replace Mini next season.

On another note Toronto must be absolutely minted if they can afford to write off a £140k asset.

I would really be surprised if we signed him, really hope it's just rumour.

indeed, and if he's been that bad, we really should just cross to the opposite side of the road and let him walk to KR. But, these are all rumours...

No thanks

Good signing, I trust Ellis, AP and Radford, play him out wide, so a direct replacement for Mini.

We nearly signed him last season, but we wouldn't pay the fee.

Looks like I'm in the minority but I think it's a good signing.

Think Abdul will sign for Rovers though, which I'll be disappointed about

Watts for Westerman - isn't that like for like?

Not the type of back rower we need

I'd be open to this, Radford obviously thinks he can add to the group. He a very good player hitting his prime years. also gives us another ball player, which is a must because our attack is so one dimensional without kelly. I love Sneyd, his game management is exceptional, but hes not a typical creator.

I think he would be a better fit for Rovers. In my opinion he is better than any of their back rowers and they are actively looking to improve their squad with their vast funds. At least that's what the club have told the fans...

His best for us was when he played out wide, think he scored 11 try's and 11 assists in about 2011

Likewise.

He should have kept his mouth shut and knuckled down then

Paul Clarke from HDM is building him up and says it would be a good signing for us. He is close to the club so maybe it's going to happen.

Has Abdul had a fall out?

No problem with a player like Westerman joining the club. The relationship is clearly already there, so I do understand the logic. He is a great player on his day.

However, not sure this is a good use of the salary cap of Watts personally. I'd like to see more heavy weights in the pack.

To echo everybody else as well, I'm more concerned about losing Abdul. I hope we find a way to retain him.

I don't think Radford wants Abdull, simple as that.
