There are many touching words on the Wakey forum which I'm sure we'd all echo.

Thread [url=http://viewtopic.php?t=401009HERE[/url...

I know they're our rivals but nobody deserves what they have gone through so far

RIP Leon

Can't believe it, totally shocking. Thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone at Wakefield RLFC.

As for Wakey this year, i didn't think so much bad luck could come to one club in such a short space of time. I think i'll be cheering Wakey on in every game i see them play this year.

Tragic for someone to die at his age, RIP.

Not good, sad, very sad

At times like these there is no such thing as bitter rivalry!!!!!!! R.I.P leon

Wakefield are having such tragic luck that another young lad has passed away at an early age. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on SSN last night.

R.I.P

R.I.P Leon lad

we will beat saints for Leon

c'mon Wakefield

I will be a Wakey supporter for the night. My sincere Respect to all involved.

I think Wakefield will stuff Saints on Friday night.

You don't have to go that far



Just the fact that people appreciate that Wakey are going through a hard time and deserve a little consideration is enough - but the gestures are still most welcome.

Still struggling to get my head around all this tbh

Leon's family and friends have my deepest sympathy, but I won't extend my sympathies to cheering the Pussycats on, unless it benefits us, which it won't. I will definitely be rooting for a Saints win.

Really have to be a Saints supporter on Friday and hope they win by a good margin, the points difference will push us above Wakey. Also long term, I think our place in a top 8 play off positions will be influenced more by Wakey than Saints.

Come on you Saints!

I can not believe you are using a thread about the untimely death of a young lad to discuss what Cas would gain from a heavy Wakie defeat. That is very poor, very poor indeed. Especially as the match is to be played in his memory. You should be ashamed.

You have no place in RL. Even if you think that don't post it.

Calling us pussycats and wanting Saints to beat us by a good score on what will be an emotional night.

Nice to see you have a heart.

As for the other cas fan, thanks for your well wishes.

to an extent i agree with him, i think it is a terrible tragedy and i cannot begin to imagine how the family of Leon feel but in pure RL terms whilst i will not be supporting either side (i support Cas) i would be pleased if wakey lost it benefits cas. as long as it's a good game played in the right spirit.

to say "you have no place in RL" is a very silly thign to say!

What is silly is saying he hopes we lose by a big score.

Some cas fans will never change

i think your emotions have gt the better of you, i really do. he offered is condolences and said he wanted saints to win as it benefits Cas, which is true. i dont get what you are so upset about. do you think Saints fans will be hoping you beat them because of the tragedy you have been dealt?

i would liek to reiterate my sadness to the loss of such a young RL player but ther eis still a game to be played (as requested by the family) and won, the outcome as the same impact on the league as it would without the targedy so why would oposition fans hope for a different outocme than any other time?

It should not matter about your club doing well out of a game which is all about doing Leon proud. Firstly I want a good game in what would be a great tribute to him after that I would like a win.

Can't believe anyone would want us to get hammerd

Woooooo. Come on folks lets not get carried away - it was an opinion that wasn't framed in an especially offensive manner. Sure it may have been better not said and just thought but it's a free country.

It is still a game and life goes on, Im sure Cas fans want to finish above us, they won't

but they will want too.

Sad thing is in a few weeks Leon will be old news as Adam already is and rightly so life goes on.

Come on Adam what do you expect, Cas fans not to want us beaten because we are still a bit raw about Adam Watene. Don't work like that mate, as Ted Richardson says if we didn't carry on as before you wouldn't dare cross the road.

We can't make too much of this and turn it into a Jade type circus. Statistically Leon is one of hundreds of young men who die every day under all sorts of circumstances. The world doesn't stop for them nor can it stop for Leon. Just because he wore a Trinity/RL shirts does not make him any more important or less than anyone else.

We mourn in a way that is appropriate to each individuals own feelings and move on. You simply can't tell people how to feel.

I think if you can't say the right thing it's probably best to say nowt. If Wakey winning would bring a small shred of solace to the Walker family then screw the league table, I hope they win.

But surely everyone will want a top game of rugby league to pay the perfect tribute to Leon? If we get hammered it won’t be a too good a tribute but as long as it’s a good game with some quality rugby skill on show from both teams then it will be a great tribute to the lad.
