Re: Joe Westerman : Thu Oct 28, 2010 8:04 am  
Think it's a really good signing for us and a good move for you too. He'd have no doubt left at the end of next season for nothing, this way he can generate you a few bob for your new ground and as he didn't have the greatest season last season I assume won't be too big a miss. Hopefully at Hull we can sort his head out and start getting to play to full potential e.g. Watts.

Absolutely no qualms about the decision to let him go - probably the best thing for him as a player and for us as a club.

Nice to see us offloading a few big earners too, and getting significant recompense for them. Hopefully this all aids the stadium build and franchise application

As for a 30-odd year old Aussie replacement, how many of those have we brought in recently?

:thumb: Lets hope so.

A great signing for us and I'll echo what's been said, he maybe has come to a point where a change is just what he needs, many players are like that like it or not.
I think the deal will benefit all parties and for what it's worth, I hope you go out and get a crackin' replacement, I want my 'second' club to do well!

Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. Who needs flankers' grammar was actually correct.

HTH.

Oh well, another bit of the stadium paid for.
Couldn't we have got Willie Manu back as part of the deal or something? I just hope his replacement can tackle.

Hope its as good a move for us as it is for you, hopefully in Cas' case it was done with the new stadium in mind and funding for the future. £150k is not to be sniffed at in the current climate and what fees are paid in the game nowadays. We may have paid a little over the odds but Hull's board have been sat on money for years so its about time they got their hand in their pockets.

Already looking forward to visiting the new ground.

Re: Joe Westerman : Thu Oct 28, 2010 8:38 am  
Not especially happy but reading the statements from Hull, Cas and Westerman, it's obvious the right decision has been made. Cas were obviously stung by the Shenton saga and lost out on a transfer fee when they could have cashed in and at least learned from that. Now the cash can be put to good use.

My main worry now is who's picture the kids are going to have on their bedroom wall! They've just taken down their Shenton poster and replaced it with a Westerman poster! Who next? Their obviously jinxing the players! Shall I get them to put up a McGoldrick poster? :lol:

Getting older is mandatory; growing up is optional.

I'm actually lost for words, numb, gutted.

Glad I haven't yet bought a season ticket and definitely won't be bothering now.

Best of luck to Joe though - it makes me wonder whether our club has any ambition left.

The good thing about Joe going is that this should mean Widders and Ferres are now going to be used in their natural positions and not as half backs or centres. The thing that worries me is what the future holds when 2 of our young stars want away, this does not bode well for the ambitions of the club on player levels or the coaching staff.

"Castleford's biggest home crowd of the 1991-1992 season wasn't quite 12,000 while on average they'd sit around 6000 but the noise, the chanting and the singing just blows you away" - Tawera Nikau "Standing Tall"

"I can tell you the atmosphere was extraordinary at Wheldon Road on big days. The ground held around 15,000 people, every one of them close to the action on the field and the noise would be enough to send a rumble through the town" - Malcolm Reilly "Reilly - A Life in Rugby League"

"we discussed the possibility of an extension to Joe's contract with his agent but it was clear he wanted to move on and was no longer 100% committed to Castleford Tigers."

Sorry, but reading the above, the managment have done the best thing for the club.
