Westwood, a walking thug who excels in giving cheap shots to opposing players, his two game ban is well deserved, the guy is a coward who hits people when they least expect it. Like my last comment in this section unless you play to the same level of violence as Warrington did then you are going to get nothing against this team when playing at Warrington with the this ref. It should have been a straight red. This is the problem with looking over the game after the match it doesn't help the team you are playing against but the next two teams they play. The video ref should have made the call. Unfortunately over the last 5 years the Warrington pack have become thugs the only way to beat thugs is to clatter them first, hence saints and Wigan always beat them in the important games.

Would you like sauce or mayo with that?

What important games do Saints beat us in? 3 play-off semi finals - 3 Wire victories. Westwood/King got deserved bans

Must confess I usually enjoy watching Westwood play. Just not against us. Bit of a throwback, our Ben is.

Proper forward. his kind has slowly been rubbed out the game to the increasing need for good wholesome family friendly 'sport'. Any team and any fan would be lying if they said they wouldn't have had him in their pack.

Gives it & takes it. Love him.

Don’t have a problem with a bit of biff, it’s the bending of limbs in the cannonball/ninja tackles etc that I don’t like.

Proper forward? Im sure Blake Green agrees he's a sh#&*ouse pure & simple.

You ever played the game? Ever had been tackled and had something said to you? been pinched or had a whisper in the ear? had your balls grabbed, head ruffled, been wound up? Or maybe seen the opposition doing something similar or something equally as sly to one of your team mates...

Not saying it's acceptable but it happens and people see red and tempers boil over and you think "I'm going to get you back for that, I'll shut you up" and you may notice the usual player whos on the end of a cheap shot is a half back. because that's what good half backs do. they're cocky, gobby and annoying.

If players are willing to give it the big'un they should expect to be dealt with. all the best forwards had/have a nasty streak. Westwood has took pleanty of cheapshots over the years and gets on with it and he'll go toe to toe with anyone. At least hes not been a Ryan Bailey in his career kicking off with backs then $h1i77ing if when faced by somone his own size.

It wasn't a good technique but I'm not sure it was meant to injure. I didn't realise it was illegal but can see why it should be. I don't have any problem with a ban; apart from a few paranoid Wolfs I haven't seen many objections to it.
