Stats don't mean a thing.

Apart from kicking and offloads they look pretty equal to me, thats part and parcel of being a kicker

Can't we just be happy we have two very good young players knocking around

I think it's more a case of after his first season he was a marked man. Matterson tended to push him into the middle more this season and he really didn't have the same impact as running down the right channel like he normally does.

Generally, when he plays down there he does well - Harlequins away was a perfect example of this. Although, I know he is deeply disappointed by his form this season, but I don't see why. He's a Cas lad and he will be forgiven for making mistakes. After all he is young too.

I think the above is all very true, whats more that head injury seemed to shake him up quite abit (understandably) i think joe will kick on again next year.

One is the better at some things than the other which is to be expected.

I like Fergie big time, and in the past have been sick to the back teeth of listening to how good Westerman is, but any of my fellow Wakefield fans who think Westerman is Crap need to wire their testicles up to a truck battery. FFS that kid has bags of talent, and IMHO for most part of what I have seen this year was played too much down the middle, more so because of that pillock from new zealand you bought.

Westerman is a massive talent, and needs to develop in a way that suits his style, and will kick on next year IMO. I dont think he will ever be another Paul Sculthorpe, but he will be better than Lockers, Sinfield, Wilkin, Purdem, and Langley.
