Get well soon joe!!!
Hope he's ok.

A serious injury to Castleford's rising star Joe Westerman held up the Tigers' engage Super League encounter with St Helens for 12 minutes this afternoon.

The 19-year-old loose forward appeared to go into spasms after colliding with a Saints player in the first half at The Jungle.

He was eventually carried off on a stretcher after lengthy and careful treatment by at least eight medical or training staff.

Saints were leading 32-0 when the incident occurred after 29 minutes.

Just read this on teletext i hope Joe is alright and recovers soon, he is a real talent.

Hope he is alright and has a speedy recovery

It didn't sound good. Hope he's OK.

Hope he is ok.

Hope he is ok soon

Said on radio he has fully recovered and is fine, came from his parents.

Sound like good news hope he is fine

Joe Westerman, get well soon kid

Sorry to hear about Westerman, hope he makes a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear Joe's ok.

still cannot get the image of joe fitting on the field out of my head,lets hope and pray its not has serious has it looked at the time.

lol i want to play rugby league too and i here bout these injuries and poor tradgec (scuse spelling) deaths , r.i.p Leon Walker

, and it puts me off

but then Celtic Crusaders play awful it motivates me to play >.<

Good news.

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.

It said on radio that joe was sat up so think he will be fine. I hope it's true.

Just out of intrest how has he been playing this year?

I've always liked joe and looked a cert to b a England player but not seen many cas games this year.

I think he prob said it tounge in cheek and didn't think what he was saying.

The are idiots at all clubs.

By the way what is wyp?

west yorkshire police im guessing

Firstly it's good to hear that he's apparently fine. Hopefully it's nothing too serious and he'll be back soon enough.

Secondly I missed the incident but from what I heard, Graham came in with a swinging arm off the ball and almost took Westy's head off. Whether that's close to the truth or not I couldn't possibly say. If there was anything in it I'm sure it will get picked up.

I was pretty disappointed at the actions of some of the Cas fans whilst Joe was down, taking the opportunity to give Pryce some stick. Especially considering he was the player who was trying to get the referee to stop the game.

It looked to me like Joe didn't want to be stretchered off, he seemed to want to get up but fortunately they did the right thing and got him taken and checked up. Again I wish him all the best and hopefully he'll soon be back for us.

I hope he's OK. It was horrible to watch.

THAT WAS SCAREY STUFF!!! had radio leeds on way home said hes up talking

Spoke to Mitchell Sargent on way out of ground and he said that the fit was caused by Joe hitting his head/neck quite hard & air being stopped momentarily to his brain. He was sat up & OK at the last update. He actually said he was "sweet as a nut".

Hope the young lad is OK. Unlucky on the result Cas. Personally thought you would have given Saints a good game today.
