Can I just add to this that the lack of news coverage, (especially on the beeb) is disgusting.

If it had been a footballer it would have been headlines, yet it wasn't even mentioned.

I thought exactly the same, I have just watched the BBC sports news and couldn't believe it didn't get mentioned at all.

i feel a bit wierd tonight, although shocked and numb about the loss of Leon, i also feel very proud to be a Rugby League fan after reading all the messages on all the boards of all clubs, we are one big family no matter what team you follow we all pull together in times like this

This may sound stupid and you may laugh at me as i didnt know the lad etc


I feel so upset about this, this game to me is such a close sport in terms of fans, players, clubs etc (I know sometimes its not shown on the boards, but ive seen it in St Helens this weekend) and for somebody to lose their life playing it is so heartbreaking

My heart goes out to the Family and to everyone connected to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, a horrible last 6 months for the club

Not stupid at all Loz. I was choking up telling my Granddad about it. The lad obviously had a good long career ahead of him and for someone to die doing something they love is very sad.

Condolences to his family and everyone who knows him from my household.

RIP
