That is from June 2008 - come off it. he could hardly comment on Fergy then he had only played one SL game

Settle petal, notice the wink. Ferguson is a great prospect but, as pointed out to you in this thread you abandoned, Westerman's roll of achievements reads:

england school boys captain, nl1 young player of the year, sl young player of the year, called up for the england sqaud, rated by an independant source as the 3rd best teenager in the world, nl1 grand final winners medal, 53 first team games (29 in sl), 24 tries (14 in sl) and 40 goals

This is why he is so highly rated and talked about. How does Ferguson's read?

At the end of the day, Ferguson is a great prospect and has started this season really well. Hopefully, as someone mentioned on this thread, they'll be playing together for England before too long. As you said, they are two different players, so why do you obsessively compare the two?

OK petal.

Ferguson has also played for England Academy, has never played in NL1 (what a blow), his ratio of SL games to tries stacks up perfectly with Westerman.

The number of games he has played are irrelevant as you can't play with no shoulder - had Westerman been injured all last season what would his figure be, that is a truly absurd comparison.

Ditto the Independent ratings, Westerman was playing NL1 at the time and thus got game time. Ferguson was playing SL and finding it somewhat difficult to dislodge more established first team SL players - you get my drift.

Westerman has simply had a head start and lucky him. I can confirm Kear rates him as highly as Westerman, can't imagine he rates him higher - but then why would he I don't

See there lays the difference, here at Wakey we are secure enough to realise that good things happen elsewhere and there may well be TWO equelly good players at both clubs. I know you lot will never admit that, too much face to be lost
