I can't make me mind up wether we should offer him a deal for next year or not , sometimes he looks like he's on his last legs then last night I thought he was quality when he came on

He didn't do the 80mins, maybe at his age to get the best of him now its best to not play 80 ?

Have PM as starting centre but then we have no FB again.

If PM plays FB in 2019 we need a centre. Gelling when Widnes go down ?

Or Foster to centre.

But then you are giving JW a spot for the sake of it on the bench we already have a number of forwards in the second row.

He’s always dangerous when in open space. Sadly we very rarely give him that room to work in.

He was on bench made a big difference when he came on if he's happy to do another year id be happy he was staying

Comes a time in a players career when it is time to let go, the best sides are good at this , just look at Saints letting Wilkin go after all the years he as given them.
Age catches up with us all, Webster as been good for us since he over came his injury woes but sadly now is the time for him to move on.

No please not Foster in centre. Better as a utility forward. Him Webbo and Wardle too slow.

Mentioned on commentary last night that he has been linked to Bradford. Also read somewhere he is wanted by Catalan.

I'd definitely give him 12 months and use his impact off the bench, as is, evident on Friday he's very useful.

Somebody posted a photo of him on Instagram last night saying "it's been a pleasure and will be sad to see you leave at end of season" Jake Webster himself has liked the photo.

Not sure if it has been confirmed anywhere but for Jake to like this sounds 100% like this is his last season....

He must have stayed on the field shaking hands and taking photos a good 10mins after the other players had gone back to the sheds last night ...always had time for the fans since he first came to us

Will be missed. Hoping we have something lined up for him when he retires. So much experience which could be passed onto future backs we have at the club.

we all love Big Jake but we don't want to make the same mistake as we did when we gave another great servant of our club another season Andy Lynch, there is a time to move on, good luck in what ever he does if and when he moves on

It's time to say goodbye,he has been a good servant but by the time February 2019 comes his body will have had enough of rugby

I was hoping we could find him a back room role when he finishes. The route Liam Finn is taking could be similar.

Signed for Bradford according to totalRL & league express.

Interestingly it says the Tigers wouldn't comment when asked about the move.

No confirmation there. Just rumour.
