How he is not in the England squad is beyond me. He was MOM easily on Sunday ( Westerman has great potential but was miles behind Wild) BUT has been playing like that ALL SEASON.

Tony smith are you watching / Listening or are you just going to f@@k it all up again. :x

Decent player, but I wouldn't pick him against an Aussie or Kiwi international side. Westerman doesn't seem to be making the same impact this season, maybe down to injuries, but at this stage he's still probably the best long-term prospect we've got at loose forward.

Couldn't agree more.

He got a chance a few years back and just missed out then seemed to be forgotten.
Giants are getting more fashionable for good players to be seen so might now get his chance.

If he was Leeds or Wigan he'd have been in ages ago.

He got selected for GB when he was at Wigan, but his form dipped the season after his selection.

Stephen Wild doesn't get picked after an incident on tour during the tri-nations :wink:

It wasn't a breach of discipline either btw

If all the British players were Aussies, Wild (along with Ellis) would probably have the best chance out of any of them of getting in the Australia team.

Wild has been picked a couple of times recently, but withdrew himself due to his Mrs being pregnant I believe

Either way he must be about the most under-rated back rower in the game.

30+ tackles a game, tons of pace, good ball handler, huge fitness and complete commitment.

You dont want a player like that? Mad.
