Re: Joe Westerman
I was told he was very keen to come back to Cas, not sure if we offered him a deal or whether he was asking for too much money..
Re: Joe Westerman
Joe, was in my opinion, ruined by Terry Matterson.
Throughout his school and junior rugby he had always played as a old style loose forward - where he was constantly voted as the best player of his age group. When he broke into the Cas first team, TM played him as a right side second rower, he never was and never would be second rower, he had so much more to give than that, but TM drilled it out of him.

Re: Joe Westerman
Is there such a thing as a talented loose these days. They all seem to be the third second rower at best.

Re: Joe Westerman
Quite agree there is no such thing, simply referred to as one of the middle unit, ie another prop. Bit of a waste for me, always loved to see a good ball handling loose forward. I was desperate to be one as a kid, to copy Malcolm Reilly and Steve Norton. But wasn’t to be.Flat Capper wrote: ↑26 Sep 2019, 13:42 Is there such a thing as a talented loose these days.

Re: Joe Westerman
He was looking for north of 100k a year, would not be shocked if Wakey were the only club willing to give him that.
Hull weren't willing, Hull KR weren't and neither were Cas....because he isn't worth that.

Re: Joe Westerman
Couldn’t we have got some dispensation for his salary though? Ie only 75k counted.
He is worth 75k if we’re splitting hairs building a winning team for the sake of 25k which wouldn’t even count on our SC.
