It was no co coincidence you became a much better team the moment he left. Fancies himself as a playmaker but slows everything up. Having himself too. Surprised Radford had him back

I like Joe Westerman, I'm glad he's back. He'll come back a different player once he's fit. He'll have done a lot of thinking while he was away. He almost ticked a couple of big boxes with Wire, so got close enough to smell it..... he'll be hungry and and will want to tick them for real with us. We've got him back at 28 a more mature experienced and hardened RL Pro. He knows this is a golden career opportunity that's been handed to him. Like Talanoas and Alfie to a lesser degree he'll confound his critics and this great piece of business from the club will see the the remergence of Joe Westerman within the Radford way of working, which we know can really give a new platform for players who have lost their way a bit. I think we'll see Joe's best years of his career with the B&W. He's hungry and he's got a huge point to prove and I think he'll get it right. And so will Radders. He's got my support. Good luck Joe.... back in B&W

He never gave 100% for Hull and for himself
It’s a last chance for him with us at least
Total rubbish, when at Hull, his effort was excellent, often he was trying to hard to impress. Consistency was his issue, I hope we keep Hadley at 13 and play Joe out wide

Agree, you couldn't fault his effort and he was playing in a poor team at the time. With the improvements both on and off the field the club is very different to the one he left. I have reservations but I trust Radford on this one. My concern is the future of Abdull as Radford seemed to indicate he'll play in the middle.

would be ironic if we won the CC and he hadn't been able to play in any of the games!
I hope ot works out for both parties. But you have to wonder what some of the younger players are thinking. He says in the HDM that it "went wrong in Canada, nothing bad", I'd quite like to know just what went on.

Sometimes people don't settle in a new environment or don't hit it off with a new boss.

He'll take a few weeks to get match fit and up to SL speed again so don't think we'll see him any time soon. If he was a big problem last time he was here radford wouldn't have taken him back so I can't see any issues there and on a low salary with a contract to play for it's another body who has the potential to be very good if it works out and who will be on his way if it doesn't
