do you have restricted views at wire? or did you have one of the 2 Pinter glasses in front of your face?

If i were you say no more until you see the SL or Boots & All. The man is a thug and deserves a long ban.

Utter disgrace!

I haven't seen the replay and didn't have a good view - so if it was a bad tackle then yes he deserves a ban end of.

But for the Warrington fans calling him a liability and infuriating in this thread - get real! It was quite amusing that the chief culprit is the same poster criticising long term fans for venting their frustration at players displaying a distinct lack of effort on another thread - something you could never accuse Westwood of.

He has been easily our most consistent player for the last three seasons, adding a great deal to our defence and attack.

Players like Westwood are always going to play on the edge and every now and again get it wrong and for that they should pay the price. But I'd much rather have Westwood in the side than not.

Absolute disgrace. And your supporters as well for chanting his name afterwards. Banned for several matches I hope.

Disagree 100%, the guy is Ace

1000% agree.

and not to mention gobbing OFF at him while he was unconscious on the floor, total waste of space

Hopefully you missed off the word "OFF" in the above and was just commenting on Westwood having a word in his ear?
I didn't see any spitting at all.
Very deliberate assault on the player and as such should recieve at least a 3 match ban.
Moggs was bad but not as bad as the speed and the step by Riley made it look worse...warning possible 1 match ban.
The one that Morley recieved was just as bad and I think he, can't remember the players name, will find himself in front of the panel at Red Hall.

Aah, that makes sense now!

TBH, I don't think it is clear that Westwood gobs off. You see him looking down into his face, but the view is from the top of his head, so IMO he realises the bloke is unconscious and is looking at his face. The reason I make that assumption is becasue Westwood would normally have given the player a facial too, yet you see him pull his hands back, so I do think he realises something's up.

He will get a desreved ban but I don't think he set out to do it as it was poorly timed and mainly caused by the impact of the first Warrington tackler altering the body shape of the Catalans player.

And for the record the cheap shot square into Morleys jaw was just as bad.

Westwood should have been sent off.
It was an awful 'tackle'.

There was one on Morley in the same category though in the 2nd half that (I think) escaped puishment - but that's not to take anything away from what Ben did.
