Keeping reading in the press that he is coming to Leeds, is there any truth in this and if so I think it would be a positive signing, still need a half back and a prop forward.

We don't have enough workhorse second rowers, let's sign another one.

On the Hull board Mr Pearson has vehemently denied he is leaving and they believe him

If Pearson told them lot he could walk on water they would believe him.

He's a loose forward though...

Yes ,but it wasn't for me to disappoint them

Give over, he's far above workhorse. Much classier than what we have.

Don't think he is. But finally showing his promise, and would be a useful addition.

Had a bit of a name for a good time lad bit like Zac didn't he?

Overhyped Cas player - he has never delivered on his earl promise. Very disruptive individual who still has a lot of growing up to do. Not in the same class as Ablett, not technically as good ball in hand, doesn't read the game as well and his defence leaves much room for improvement.

I well remember what was expected of him at Cas, & how Chase apparently led him astray. I've no idea of his current off-field habits but he is probably the most valuable back rower in the game, given his age, only Ferres is on par. I agree he is not in the same class as Ablett, he is one above. Ablett is a very good player mind, I would have been happy with both in the back row for England.

What is Westerman though? He's not a damaging runner with ball in hand. He's not a defensive workhorse. He's not a ball-playing pivot.



He's typical of the current generation of English back-rowers, who have been coached to be a bit of everything and ended up being nothing in particular. A potential talent wasted.
