Don't paint him a some sort of saint though. There a plenty of overseas players who do that and many are far more knowledgeable than Webster. Kearney and Swain immediately spring to mind.
Next you'll be telling me what a great coach Darryl Powell is
Powell has been to more Major finals than most current Super League Coaches have
I cant speak for Swain or Kearney but I do know how good Webster is and I know how influential he was at HKR even when Morgs was being touted as the best thing since sliced bread. I am sure even Justin would admit that.
Like I said there are a heck of a lot of young and now not so young players who will tell you they enjoyed playing with him, some of them were at Hull FC with him so all I was saying he was hardly a waste of cash. Agar didn't sit Webster next to him on match days because he had a big bag of Fox's Glazier Fruits in his pocket, same reason he sat next Morgs on the few occasions he was injured. The guy will go on to Coach at the highest level if he has ambition to do so, I am certain of that.
It is all about opinions, that one is mine.
