watch the incident again, he fell awkwardly because he was out before he hit the ground. definately a swinging arm. first point of contact was gilmour forearm on JW jaw.

Your own team's coach didn't think there was anything wrong in the tackle at all - it was Westerman and one of ours (some say Graham, some say Gidley, some say Gilmour - seems like it was one of the G men anyway) going for the ball at the same time and Westerman came off worst, he fell awkwardly. Anyway, there is an interview with Terry M on your website in which he claims no foul play at all.

Well i shall start by saying i expected us to lose 2day but was just looking forward to a good game and great weather which i got so not bitter at all. But i was disgusted by a comment from a saints fan stood behind me. When Westerman was announced as the man of match the saints fan came out with 'well thats how good they played'. I am a member of WYP so i managed to keep myself calm, but had i not been i would have cracked the guy. I felt sick as a pig, especially with the latest incidents in RL.

I was stood in a few yards away from a bloke, possibly same bloke as you I don't know, who said something along the lines of 'Why is he MOM? Surely that is an insult to the guys who have played 80 mins all game?'
I don't agree with him, Westie was given MOM as a sign of respect, but I doubt he meant it in a malicious or distateful way, at least I hope he didn't. Get well soon Joe.

Don't think Gilmour is a particularly dirty player but it may be something for the Disciplinary panel to look at. Hope westerman makes a speedy recovery, our games had enough to cope with over the last 6 months.

There was nothing wrong with the tackle, just watched it on SkySports News. If there was something in it, you would have been able to tell by the reaction to the tackle of the Cas players, who were a lot closer and had a better view of the incident than either you or me.

Cannot see any saints player being dirty or malicious,
when they are leading by 30+ points...

i cant believe what people are saying. watch the tackle again, and keep an eye on gilmour's left forearm why he has made connection with JW jaw when he does'nt have the ball is dirty. JW was out before he hit the ground and gilmour didnt go for the ball he just swung at JW head. I cant believe people can argue with what is right in front of you. slow it down its BAD!!

At least it's not just me seeing things then

High, late and dangerous - surely that's a ban?

Have not seen the tacke yet if it is a haed shot I cast my mind back to ben westwood Wire v Catalan he got 5 games for the head shot that knocked dane carlaw clean out

Would have to be similar or more if a bad one.
