''Once we heard it was his neck we knew we didn't want to move him too much,'' Slater said. ''We just heard he was in some pain. Initially we didn't realise it was his neck, I thought it was his leg, [but] you hear a player in a tackle or that sort of thing in some sort of pain you just want to help them out as much as you can.'' Slater's actions were applauded by the Williams family, Manly COO David Perry and coach Des Hasler.
