Whiting at 13, I'd rather have Minichello there tbh

Another Westy myth! Can you even jump out of the line in the middle? I reckon 90%+ of his tackles are on forwards, maybe his line speed should be replicated by those around him in that case?

Westerman for me has NOT lived up to the hype. Remember we paid a hell of a wedge to get him (More than Sneyd). I know which has given better VFM.
He was player of the year and represented England last year! He's been fantastic for over 2 years now. People just don't like him, that's fair enough, but there's absolutely no stats to back up this idea he's not been anything else but very good.

Absolute nonsense. I really like the guy but think he's overrated as a rugby player. And to say he's been "fantastic" for two years is an exaggeration of gargantuan proportions.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.

Can you explain just how he's overrated? Because winning player of the year and getting international recognition don't point to someone being overrated. He's not been as good in attack as he was last year, but he's still been fantastic in defence.
You've only got to ask the players he plays with every week how good he is.
