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

Cheers, cartilage used to be main knee injury many moons ago, not so common nowadays, it seems.

think we just call it a different name, a bit like "metatarsal", like nobody dies of "old age", always has a more clinical diagnosis now.

Jamie Buhrer has just got a similar injury for newcastle in the nrl. his torn meniscus is around 7 or 8 weeks to heal fully, but it always takes a while to diagnose, presumable as has been mentioned, due to local swelling

Hoping to be back for the next game, if not the one after.

Good news on the Westerman front https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ns-1804120

Good news. I thought we looked a lot more cohesive when he came in and he's a big unit who does plenty in both A & D

… I reckon he's been a big miss these last few weeks, good to see he'll be back next year.

Well chuffed that he's staying. I was probably one of the few who never wanted him to leave.
