do you think you will de-register him in order to free up cap space? in circumstances like this, it may be useful to have some kind of guideline that players with non rugby illness or injury not be counted on the cap.

All the best to a quality player, superleague will certainly be less bish bash bosh without him this season. All the best on the upcoming season too, you've had a terrible time recently. Keep your heads up

All the best pal. Suppose you can look towards Fozzie for a bit of inspiration - I think he had something similar a few years ago so all may not be lost.

lets hope that things turn around for him and his family.

Sorry to hear this news

The main thing is that Richard does whatever is needed and takes however long needed to get through this - rugby isn't important, he needs to find what is a healthy way of life to manage the illness.

All the best to Richard for his recovery.

Richard, I hope you get better soon lad. I really hope to see you playing for Wakey again.

And the hits just keep on coming.....

Good luck Richard, Crohn's is not good.

Hope Wakey have some better fortune soon

Hope you can get the necessary treatment now and enjoy a speedy recovery.

Shocking news.

All the very best to Richard who had worked so hard to establish himself at the club.

Let's hope all goes well for him.

Poor Richie! Just getting his career sorted to the level he should be at and a fan favourite, and then this.

Never mind that for now though, he just has to focus on getting better and as many have said at least its diagnosed now so hopefully a treatment can be found soon.

Although I do hope I see him pegging it to chase a kick/score a long range try again sometime in the not too distant future.
