Didn't understand the rumours linking us with Westerman at all at first due to Agar's insistence on a prop at 13, but surely this must mean Fitz to prop now and a "proper" 13...
This is the bit I don't get -
has Agar completely changed his tune, despite 3 seasons of this and being adamant that 3 props is best at fan's forums etc?
If Agar is bending under the force of pressure, why haven't we seen more of Washy at 13 - or seen Whiting tried there - when the going was tough and we were screaming for another pivot?
This is a massive u-turn for Agar and I hope it's happening and we see Westerman at 13. But the fact that the Hull FC article describes him as a "loose forward, come stand off" and with the 'paper' version of the Mail stating "A loose forward who has on occasions played stand-off, where Westerman fits into Agar's plans is yet unknown, with Hull already boasting Fitzgibbon and Richard Horne in his two positions" I do wonder.
We're all expecting the signing of a "back-up half", perhaps Westerman is earmarked
as the new half with Horney becoming the back-up.
Unlikely, I know, but nothing would surprise me with Hull, and this would allow Agar to stick to his "3 prop" guns.
