Shocking. RIP

This is why i am glad Rugby League is 'my team'. If it happened in other sports you wouldn't get half as much sympathy and genuine compassion for other teams players/supporters etc for what is such a terrible blow to the family and others who knew him. Also what terrible day for it to happen.

Bad times. Thoughts are with the lads family & Wakey Club & Fans, another cruel thing to happen to them.

Shocking news

My thoughts are with his family and the club (they've been through a heck of a lot recently)

RIP Leon

you do not expect to go to a rugby match and see someone die on the pitch and especially at his age as he is the same age as me. It is not the best way to die but at least he was enjoying himself before he was suddenly taken from the rugby world.

And because it's RL, respect we be shown across the board, which is more than can be said for other sports!

It's still quite raw tbh, another RL brother leaving before the party is over.
The fact that he turned 20 a few months ago and I turn 20 in a few months is quite frightening and I don't mind admitting I shed a little tear on Sunday as the story filtered through.

RIP big man, we'll see you one day for a big game of Touch and Pass.
