Can't quite work it out.
I'm sure Radders knows what he's doing?!

we can only wait and see, hope he proves Lee right.

Dont get the negativity around the Westerman signing.
Always thought he would make a good wide running second row.
Good defence,get his pace back and a good signing if we use him correctly.
Not interested in the ball playing Westerman i want to see him running at defences wide out.

you mean people being a little concerned we sold him Wire sold him and Toronto have given him away?

A fair point but then you could also point out that Warrington and Toronto both paid a six figure transfer fee and awarded him a 2/3 year contract on presumably big bucks. We're paying him a cut price deal for six months with the onus on him to impress and earn a contract longer term.

Indeed, which is why I say "wait and see", everyone deserves a second chance, hope he grasps it...

I think it’s a smart deal for you. He does not have the benefit of a long term contract so it’s up to him to perform. If he is successful you can reward him with a decent contract. If he fails after this who will want him, certainly no decent super league clubs will be interested. When he puts his mind to it he is a decent player, personally I think he will go well.

I think his wife is expecting another baby, so perhaps this was a factor in wanting to leave Toronto? I do think it's a low risk signing, a trial with an option in our favour at low cost for a coach he want to work with. As stated already I don't think he's best suited as a middle player for us but replacing a wider player could add something to the squad where we are likely to lose two if not 3 senior back rowers this year.

Why would people be concerned we sold him to Warrington?
If he had been a problem at the club i dont think Radford or Pearson would welcome him back.
We dont know why Warrington sold him or why Toronto released him but in both cases there is nothing that says Westerman has had any sort of disciplinary problem at the clubs.
Good piece of business for me.Where can you find a forward of Westermans quality and experience without paying a fee and at a reduced wage according to the reports

Can he play Stand Off

When he left us for wire it coincided with Tony Smith signing a load of other e like Kevin Brown and they went downhill fast but i remember wire fans saying he was one of their better players.

I still dont get why weve signed Watts best mate but were potentially gonna lose Washy, Mini and Manu so getting Westerman on board now even to replace Washy takes pressure off as we will now only have two new back rowers to find. Seems strange at first but in an ever increasingly difficult market for getting new quality players in it actually seems good business
