I agree 100%, but one swallow does not a summer make. He's been far from the worst player this season, for me it has to be down to our "go missing" attack.

Heard a rumour he wants out at Hull and has been given permission to speak to Other clubs, Leeds and Warrington are doing just that apparently, anyone heard anything or is it just the usual crap doing the rounds ?

I believe this is all correct. Doesn't toe the line with Radfords discipline rules, expensive and under performing. We are open to offers which I suspect will allow us to invest in a half back.

You wont see him in a black and white shirt again.

Why would we want to do that?

Leeds bound, if the money's right.

good

shame if true, but just rumour atm

Now sure how I would feel about that. If it was true it would be embarrassing for AP after denying it so recently. It would make some sense though as I think they have to find a place for Abdul and with Manu and Mini in the back row where would he fit? I always thought Westy had not fulfilled his full potential, first we played him out wide which seemed a waste, up the middle least season he looked really good but dropped off since then.

It would also release some cash, I think he only has a season left on his present contract so it may be better to cash in when we can.

Nathan Massey signed to replace him? (Just a rumour over on the Rovers forum).

What we need is a washbrook and Ellis who will surely rip superleague apart! Oh wait a minute

If it was true we have more than enough back rowers that he doesn't need replacing.

I guess if Leeds are interested it would to cover for JJB who I would expect to retire early. Never thought Westerman was the type of individual who would fit in at Leeds but if he's happy for a wage cut and a move to a club who could potentially take him to the next level
then it could work for both party's because he does have massive potential. Not sure on this one to be fair but can see all the reasons why it could work for him at Leeds if he buckles down.

further indication that the Hull Fc Coach has two flat tyres and a kaput engine!

change the record

Boring isn't it.

Getting more and more confident these past few weeks has Martin. Posting more and getting back to his old banned self.

Maybe because what we have is not suitable at the moment. Sneyd needs assistance. Abdull to 13. Pryce last season before retiring? Rankin gone. Tyson Wilson should have been making moves by now. I personally think we are short there. From what I heard I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that.

it's not the DJ at fault, about time Radford friends and family accepted that, maybe?

Good job we have Carlos Tuimavave then isn't it.

Not one to stick up for Standee, but he's right about it being a stupid decision by the coach and will make the owner look stupid too.

You just shouldn't sell your best players, but we've already sold one! How can you justify selling a player who less than 12 months ago was playing for England? Especially as we haven't got anyone anywhere near close to replacing him. Abdull's not ready and nobody else at the club plays 13.

Stupid decision.

You have some fair points, but we don't know what Westerman is like in training or his attitude, I can give or take Westerman, his time at Hull has been inconsistent going from very good to average, this season he has been poor (Maybe he had injuries) I can't remember him having one top game. The question for me is he value for money, I don't think anyone is in any doubt that he will be one of Hull's highest earners, he certainly works hard, but he doesn't make many breaks, score or set up trys like he use too. I've seen more from Abdul this year, he sets up trys, scores them and make breaks, I am not saying he could play 80 minutes at LF every week due to his fitness and defence, but he could do a good spell there, with maybe Washbrook playing a spell there.

If he stays he needs to really improve, if he goes then we have a large amount of cap to play with and a decent transfer fee.

Not often you here common sense on here these days.
I think Mr K you have hit the nail right on the head.

If we get a decent fee for him then let him go. He'll be gone anyway this time next year. if he does then I'd either not replace him yet and see who comes avalable during the season or look to sign a quality outside back.

abdul nowhere near physically ready to play 13 with the defensive duties that come with it.

If westy goes, manu will play 13 and, for me, hadley ended the season really well so I'd play him in the 2nd row with fash, turgutt and downs ready to step in

he is definately Mr marmite with the fans is Joe.
I like him but have to say if we can get a substantial fee for him and money made available for a quality wing or centre thats fine by me.
Hadley would make a decent 13 with Abdull ready to step in when required.

defo mr marmite is westy, imo he does a lot of work in the middle and always gives his all. But if the price is right ?
