Good luck to Joe. Think the club have done the right thing but I'm not happy with RW's statement by any stretch of the imagination.

What bits that?.Joe going to a bigger club with a lot more ambition?.

Best of luck to Joe, not particularly happy about it but he hasn't been the best of performers since the injury and off field issues...It's almost as if he's been playing scared. Hopefully a decent replacement will be on their way to the Jungle shortly.

best thing that could have happened another pi$$ head gone

Suprised how many reckon this is the best thing. Personally, I'm gutted. Another quality, young player bites the dust. Cue a thirty-something year old Aussie replacement.

Re: Joe Westerman : Thu Oct 28, 2010 7:52 am  

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?

Maybe he got away with it at Cas which he wont at Hull or maybe he just needed a change.

Re: Joe Westerman : Thu Oct 28, 2010 7:58 am  

Fair play but the point I'm getting at is I can't see us replacing young local talent with similar. Hope I'm wrong. That's not an indictment on the academy either, I know it's great but these kids take a while to develop. Shenny and Joe epitomise what Cas is about for me - they were the heart of the club. Just a bit gutted.
