Was wondering if match stats available but reading the seasons overall stats Westerman's are ridiculously good! Near the top in all the top categories!!

Well done Westy. Really has upped his game this year for me and seems to be reveling playing as a proper loose forward.

Your all a funny bunch , we win and were great , we lose and it's season over . The life of an fc fan aye

COYH

It was pretty much the same last year.

They were good last year but this is another level up! Top few in carries metres tackles and offloads!
The Westerman knockers from last year and even pre season seem sillier by the week!

cheers! Props we're truly outstanding on those stats!

the binman was right oposite me when he got that bang on the leg,but he seemed to have shaken it off when the final whistle went,he wasn`t limping.

[size=150Ain't that the truth.[/size

Not meaning to sound argumentative, but he was 6th in metres and top 3 in all of the other 3 last year as well. His average gain is actually lower, so the increase is largely because he's simply seeing the ball more with the way we're playing him this year, rather than a significant improvement. He's been one of our better players for a while, it's just finally being recognised more this year.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned him but also thought yeamo was very solid , carried the ball in well , defensively strong (as allways) .... And what a kick through

Yes, well said. He's copped for a lot of criticism of late (and rightly so). As you say his defensive was immense and the little kick was terrific.

I can't understand the Colbon knocking. ONE try was let in and he was stepped by a very very good player - One who I'd have back at the club in a heartbeat. Ben Crooks wouldn't have been anywhere near Broughton with his defensive lapses. That huge long ball beats every single team and no-one can outrun the pace of that pass to slide in defence from a standing start.

ONE try against a team that scores for fun is better than ANYONE predicted on here.
Colbon did his job well last night. Wind your neck in Peggy.

He's rubbish. If you think he's not then that's up to you. It may surprise you to know I don;t really care.

As for the performance overall, I thought we were good in patches but still a long way to go for us to get anywhere near the level required and I think some are going overboard with their assessment of us against a poor huddersfield team

I agree I thought Colbon did a good job last night, thought the tussle between our right edge and Huds left edge was well and truly won by Whiting and Colbon and also thought Yeamo against Murphy was a great contest. The game also showed for me how good we can be when the forwards fire and get us on the front foot.

You care enough to reply. It seems many disagree with your analysis.

I don't care what you think but was replying to your views on colborn. Half a dozen avid fans on here agree with you but plenty disagree. I'll back my knowledge on the game on this one

Colbon is bang average and amazingly slow! Bet whiting beats him by 20 metres over a 100metre dash!!!!!
What he is decent ish at is being solid and metres out of our end! Nothing more for me. Appreciate his efforts for us but isn't super league standard.
If we was playing some top teams like saints in next few weeks I'd be massively worried! The try was a poor poor effort! If he'd been run over fair enough but to get stepped and walked round from there wasn't good. Not knocking him as such but if Sa comes in I'd push whiting to wing (really didn't wanna see whiting in backs anymore though) hurry up lineham!!!

Not watched it back yet, but thought we did a decent job. Hudds were obviously weakened by a short turnaround, but we still controlled the game from start to finish and were led superbly by Ellis, Paea and Carvell who were all relentless. Our long kicking found their back 3 on the full too often, and goal-kicking remains an issue. Shaul showed some real flair and I like Talanoa a lot. Whilst Huddersfield were poor, we have often been criticised for failing to capitalise on opposition weakness and errors. When we do so, that's used to belittle a handy performance. Weird.

For what it matters I'm with Jake with regards to Colbon.

Exactly how I see it. There's a reason that the worst team in SL didn't renew his contract and that he was sat around kicking his heels when we gave him a chance. He will be badly found out when we play a team who start to kick the ball high to him or in behind him near the line

I've not seen anyone belittling the performance anywhere. Who is?

Huddersfield was just as low in confidence as much as FC was..we responded better & got on the front foot better through our pack digging in...so anyone saying we beat a poor side is talking rubbish...remember this is the team that embarrassed us not so long ago & imo they've strengthened if out...so fair play to our lads for not letting them in the game even with the man of steel!

Fook me, if that's your idea of belittling you should stay away from these boards when we lose
