what exactly is westermans injury?

elbow

tennis elbow.?lol.cheers 2524.

Drinkers elbow?

Hope its not as rumoured , if so shot his self in the foot regards a contract which would be a shame as i think he is a decent player.

If this story is true? I think the club would have had something in place in any contract to jettison him straight away. Especially after “Wattsgate” The fact he was in the ground Sunday seems to me, it’s not true.

I think the club would be on dodgy ground publicly stating he is injured if, in fact, it's a disciplinary issue

And he's in the 19 for Salford

A big loss if his injury is as bad as it appeared, I thought he looked a class act against Salford last night.

Looked like a knee injury to me

ACL

Gone for the season then

Sounds like it, same injury as Bowden, although it might not be as bad I guess.

Shame that, although medium term might mean we get to keep him.

I hope the club do the right thing and take up his contract option. He's done well since he returned

Reckon LR has already seen enough to take up the option. LR seems a big fan of his so I'll be amazed if he's not retained.
Going to be important to us going forward.

Totally agree, there's no question, he'll be retained.

Hmmmm, definitely talented & offers ball handling skills we lack in the forwards.

BUT injured after 3 games, strong rumours on here of further disciplinary issues...…

LR will know the facts & will hopefully call it right, can't see the club risking an expensive, lengthy contract on such sp evidence. Little mention of him in recent media releases...……...

strong rumours? a few people posted speculation, nothing more. I am sure he didn't get injured deliberately.

Well said. As usual there's always someone trying to make something out of nothing.

Well pretty clear to everyone watching the game and had to be helped from the field that he was definitely injured. As for the rumours they are just that and its just some sad whack mischief making.

Radford is no fool and wouldn't have taken Westy back if there were any such issues as its taken him long enough to get the culture at the club professional.

With knee injuries there's often a lot of swelling so it's hard to give an early assessment until it settles down a bit. I doubt he'll be back any time soon

Start of Super 8's now the latest estimate, scans show meniscus damage, whatever that might be.

Meniscus is the cartlidge
