While there was nothing malicious in the tackle, it certainly looked a bit dangerous to me - clearly the result demonstrated this, and I think Ian Smith recognised this in hindsight.
All the best to Joe for recovery though, and let's hope there is no lasting damage.

Sorry to hear the news about your outstanding talent Joe Westerman. He has a bright future ahead of him within the game and as I stated on our own website, I hope it does not rock his confidence.
Get well soon Joe from Warrington Wolf.

I thought that too. It was Pryce who ran over to the ref to stop the game then within 2 minutes he was getting grieff. I overheard a female cas fan having a right go at the saints players for not doing anything to help calling them arrogant W*****s. God know what she wanted them to do!!!!
Get well soon Joe.

Im suprised that no one has metioned the fact that it took the match officials over a minute to stop the game. If god forbid the injury was a lot worse to to Joe the medical staff would have lost valuable time because the officials did respond quicker.
Even if the ref had missed the fact Joe was hurt there are at least 4 other officials and a bloke in the stand one of them could surely see. One of the touch judges could of flagged cant tell me they both missed it.

I totaly agree, the least they could do, hope you get well soon westy
