The club have stood him down indefinitely due to his concussion issues in the past few weeks. Really hope he gets back on the mend quickly, but best thing to do with this

Heart breaking for the poor lad. Wish him all the best, and will welcome him back with open arms when he's ready.
Only sensible outcome really, we have plenty of cover at the minute and concussion can get really awful if not managed right.

I really feel for Stevie, he puts 110% in every time he plays and he doesn’t catch a break from injury, maybe his body is just meant for this anymore, that’s a horrible thing to say as he is a great player. I hope they manage to sort him out and he gets better soon. Maybe he needs to be taken out of the pack and brewed as a centre.

I watched the Dan Carter documentary this week and hearing him talk about dealing injuries really makes you step back and think. At the end of the day these are young guys at the top of their game who go to the darkest places when struck by injury. Stevie has been unlucky with the range of injuries he's had. I really hope he comes back and has a really good run in the team.

Haven't seen any official confirmation yet, but it sounds like a good move to take the pressure off Stevie. I hope he comes back and makes a go of a successful career with us, but I wouldn't blame him if he decided to call it quits and look after himself doing something different.

Awful news for Stevie, but the right move for him and the club at this stage, take the pressure of him getting back to full fitness and gives him time to have a proper think about his future, some things are just more important than a game of Rugby.

He may come back fully fit and fulfil his potential or he may decide to call it a day, either way the lad deserves the full support of the club and fans.

Makes the greenwood signing make more sense

Terrible shame for the lad. We are always a better team when he is playing. Health comes first and if he is unable to get 100% fit then someone must advise him to walk away. Here is someone who fights way above his weight and he can also be his own worse enemy, simply doesn't take a backwards step. sincerely hope he gets well and can get back o full fitness.

Its in Agars presser for tomorrow’s game

This is just heartbreaking for the boy .He is such a wholehearted talented player. To think he had a SL ring stolen too. I'm not going to comment on what might be . Come on Stevie we're all rooting for you

Hope he can eventually make a full recovery, one of the classiest forwards in the modern game.

I put on the Hull match thread that I was told he was likely to miss the game with a concussion. Although he did play, same person told me he was complaining of headaches and should never have played that game.

Obviously that is only speculation but if true then someone needs hauling over the coals along with whoever let Hurrel continue when he was clearly not right

The club haven't done much will this last few years, but they are spot on here putting Stevie's health first and giving him an open ended break. Good luck to the lad, I hope he makes it through and back into rugby

Albert kelly missed pretty much all of 2018 with concussion issues but seems OK now so hopefully ward will come through it

Also hope he does as there`s a cracking player in there.
The concern is his ability to recover quickly.
His injuries before this always seem to take longer than others and either that or he is just unfortunate and when injured they tend to be bad ones.
Think he averages about 10-12 games a season which for someone of his age is pretty disastrous.
Hopefully he will come back fit and well in the not too distant future.

I was concerned by Hurrell being left on v Hull when he clearly wasn’t right. The same goes for Mellor last night. He clearly took a very strong impact to his head and was down for a while. I thought he should’ve gone off personally.

Stevie still having dizzy spells .I really do feel sympathy for this poor lad he seems a really decent person

If that's the case so long after, he needs to quit at the end of the season to preserve his long term health.

I'm sure there could be a suitable role in Social Media or suchlike for him.

Real shame for the lad and if anyone deserves a coaching gig at Leeds it`s him.
Makes you wonder how they were getting him off their books to TWP if this is still the case.

Toronto were/are a basket case when it came to recruitment.

Sadly Leeds have made the right move not offering a new deal. Shame as he’s superb when fit. But he’s never ever fit for long

Stevie Ward saying he’s going to take a break from
Rugby league due to the concussion he is still suffering from. Interview in the daily mirror today.

He’s a top guy and top player when fit, but he does absolutely right getting his health sorted first and then he can see what happens.

I do t know Stevie Ward he comes across as a very intelligent young man I hope he can find a good occupation away from the sport ,but it must be tragic for the lad having his career cut short .
