Doesn't he drive you mad? One minute he's Mr Perpetual Motion putting in tackle after tackle. Next minute he's giving away cheap penalties and dropping the ball every verse end!
On balance he's a player who's improved and matured a lot since he left and one who I'd be glad to see back in a Wakey shirt.

Westwood is exactly what is wrong with England as an international team. He is physically very good and has a great work ethic but does not have a brain cell in his head when it comes to actually playing the game.

Physically there is little between Westwood and most England players compared with the NRL players but mentally they are light years ahead.

I agree, although Hock is a far superior player than Westwood he still lacks the rugby brain to ever make him a consistently world class forward, he was good enough to take apart the Wakefield pack on his own but thats another story.
