Westerman has agreed terms with Leeds, but club haven't agreed a fee as of yet. Pearson not happy with agreeing a fee with Leeds due to previous player situations and the fact that hetherington won't stump up the 150k that Pearson wants. 1 year on westermans contract left and an unhappy player if he has to stay there.

We've done this one.

Crowd announced at 9300

plenty of walk ups, not passholders, so what was the crowd?

So what benefit does Pearson get from bleating about crowds smaller then Rovers

I hope Morleys "appearance" busts your salary cap.

If AP sells Westerman then he'll be done here "over my dead body" was his cry,

Then flogs 2 stars, one to the club he "hates"

I like Westerman (may come as a shock to some

) and hope this is wrong, but if the player has indicated he'll be leaving at the end of his contract it'd be daft to not cash in. £100k seems fair, not sure AP will get £150k.

I am worried that we don't have anyone as a direct replacement. (Please note anyone saying Abdull can will be ridiculed, nowhere near ready)

add to that, a quality well resourced backroom staff..

I've already replied to a similar post, here it is again,

Well, there were more than 6,000 there. We're the rest freebies? Is that what you're trying to say?

AP said on RH that there were a lot of "freebies" to bolster the crowd for the cats Heritage game,
so I guess there were one or two freebies at the Huddersfield game as well.

Having said that the crowds at both games looked very, very poor.

Time will tell but lets not forget that you said that Gareth Ellis was definitely going back to Leeds when he left Wests.

I'm sure he'll suck it up and get on with playing. I doubt pearson will cave in on anything with the hetheringtons

I was at the KC SL lowest game against Leigh, there were miles more at the game this year, in no way was there "only 6000" there

Again

8000 passes sold

many walk up tickets

Yet AP still says "only 6000 tickets sold" "weve had less than Rovers"

What benefit of coming out with that???

Yet again.
AP said that only 6000 people who attended the match actually paid.
The attendance figure of 9332 includes passholders, so with your figure of 8000 passholders, 1332 need to be accounted for.
If they were all freebies, then 2000 passholders didn't attend. If there were 1000 walk-ups, then 3000 passholders didn't attend.

Agree Pearson doesn't like Leeds can't see him lowering the price. Depends how much Leeds want him if there willing to pay asking price. 150,000 seems a lot for a player out of contract in a year. And still untested at the top level. Always been at mid table teams

We paid Cas £150000 for westerman with a year left on his contract

He was picked for England this time last year. £100k minimum for me if I was selling

Surely if we have 8000 season ticket holders, 8000 have already paid, or did season ticket holders have to pay for so called "play-off " games, or are you saying we had 6000 walk up and paid supporters

He had the potential tag when we bought him. Think that's been lost over the last few years, people now know what they getting, a bang average super league player

Think calling him bang average is a bit harsh. To me he's inconsistent. He can be outstanding one week but goes missing the next week (same can be said for a lot of our players). If a team can get consistency out of him (whether it's ourselves or someone else) then they'll have a very good player on their hands.

Over 3 seasons, and no more than a handful of good performances, I think average is a good assessment, only my opinion of course

Of course. As mine is mine. I'd say he's delivered more than a handful of good performances for us. For me, his best season was the 2014 season and he rightly earned his England call up.

He would get in most sl teams hes that bang average,only my opinion of course

He's wanted by Wire and Leeds who must be willing to pay a fee.

Bang average indeed.

So bang average that the treble winners want him in their side

I'm amazed how difficult this is to understand.
Let's put it another way. Between 2000 and 3000 passholders didn't go to the Huddersfield game.
The club still got their money, as Super8's are included in season passes.
But if that number is reflected in next seasons sales, that adds up to a big shortfall.

If , but, blah blah blah, season passes will be fine, and walk up support will make up for any shortfalls. in fact he'll make more money because it cost us walk up fans more. Come the start of the season us rugby fans wont be able to help ourselves, we'll continue putting ourselves through it
