I know it's the same everwhere but I have to say, that when Joe Westerman was being carried from the field there was a sea of St. Helens fans applauding like their lives depended on it, applauding so the lad couldn't help but hear them, great sight.

Top club and top fans!

lol?? My irony detector just went off the scale!

I aint on no horse, i only asked a question and actually praised a S player. I think the Wigan/Saints rivallry on here were you cant comment or ask a question regarding something to do with the other side is getting stupid i find it quite pathetic.

Cut out the whinging and slanging matches and keep it on topic.

true well said

sorry if i offended anyone i only started this to praise the saints fans AGAIN thanks you were great period .
hope you have a great season !

No idea what went on so cant comment

Was it put on report?

One thing I will say is

Get Well Soon Joe!

It wasnt on report, and play continued for some time before ref stopped game.

I didnt see what happened, and neither did Cas fans near me. There was no big bruha from the Cas fans behind sticks, until later on when it became clear Westerman was seriously hurt. Then it appeared that they had decided there must have been a high shot or late hit, off someone.

It was not nice seeing Westerman appear to have an epileptic seizure on the pitch.

The coaches didnt see anything in it and joe seems to be ok

Tigers coach Terry Matterson on Joe Westerman's injury, but we will have a look at the video. We need to find out why he got the injury."

Saints coach Mick Potter on Westerman's injury:
"Things like that do happen but you do lose a bit of focus. It is distracting and it makes you feel for the opposition.

"It is a bit sad that something like that can happen in a game.

"I hope Joe is all right. Making sure he is okay is the first priority."

Big wraps to the Saints Fans today ,thought you were superb (especially the ovation you gave to Joe when he went off),I also have to give praise to Mr Pryce whilst not been a big fan of his, he has to be commended for the way he was shouting at the ref that something serious was wrong with Joe.

BTW Thought that was one of the best Saints performances seen at Wheldon Road (The Jungle) for many a year

I agree, I missed it but nobody around seemed to think there was anything other than a bit of bad luck which always happens. As has been said if there is more to it I am sure it will be noticed when it is watched back so we will just have to wait and see.

The important think is that hopefully Westerman will be fine and back on the pitch soon.

Terry Matterson saw the incident and said there was nothing in it and nothing illegal. Video of interview here: www.castigers.com/cgi-bin/tigertv.cgi?127

Was a distressing sight when he sarted to fit. Best wishes to the lad for a full speedy recovery.

i can only echo what other cas fans have said about the way in which everybody in the ground conducted themselves during for many would have been a very worrying sight.

thank god it appears joe has not done any serious long term dammage and hopefully sometime soon he will be back out on the field doing what he does best.

i never saw anything in the tackle and you can only put it down to bad luck.a massive pat on the back to leon pryce for his quick action in getting to joe and stopping the game,he got some stick today but he`s gone up in my estimations and it never ceases to amaze me the respect and care for one another the players have despite knocking lumps out of each other everyweek.
