Please be careful re: any speculation.

Sporting Chance Clinic is a great concept. Set up by Tony Adams the Arsenal/England footballer

I hope he gets the help he needs.
I don't know whether it is down to Brian Smith but this sounds like another change that an experienced leader coming in has initiated.
He could have just been left to slowly decline so this is good for Owen and as a much more secondary benefit, to the club.

Hope he gets sorted but it was obvious to me he had certain problems. To the untrained eye maybe not; but my specialist knowledge I could see it. Good luck on your recovery Richard.

You must be joking!

Good grief.

Good luck to him, he has been very brave being public about it. I hope to see him back in a Wakey shirt when he is ready.

Sort of 'specialist' subject for me, I can only wish him well.

Without wanting to make light of the situation I would say....


Takes one to know one!

You really are a bit special.

Fair play to Mr Owen, takes a big man to admit his problems and seek treatment in such a public arena. We should all be wishing him a speedy recovery. He's gone well this season IMO.

Shocked to hear this but fully support Richard in making an honest and brave decision although obviously I don't know the circumstances.

I wonder if the State Of Mind weekend was a factor? If so, then full credit. This is showing that awareness of this is working and has to be applauded.

NGB4C the ultimate 'specialist' in all areas. How can it be obvious? Some of the comment you make is ridiculous.
Anyway, Takes a proper man to hold his hand up and ask for help, I hope he receives treatment and he comes out on the other side and gets back to playing his best.

Best of luck to Richard and I hope he's back playing for Wakefield when he's ready.

All the best to Ritchie. I hope to see him back playing the game he loves sometime soon. Brave as a player and a brave person also.

Good luck to him. Whatever issues he has rehab is the best place to sort them rather than trying/struggling alone.

Hopefully he'll return from this a better player and a better/happier/more stable person.

Hopefully the entire RL community will be behind him.

Hindsight police mate (not you btw)

No I think he is very 'special' - can you hear me above that loud trumpet!!

NGB4C
There is no real rule in the AUP about being a complete tool but I'm warning you about it anyway.
This is a sensitive subject and you are trivialising it for your own ego. Please don't.

Oh go on, please add it to the AUP



Back to the thread, best wishes Richard and hope to see you back to fine form with us soon.

Well! Good luck to him!

He's reputedly been dogged by problems since very early on in his Cas career. It's a mature and responsible decision to seek help and he should be applauded for doing so.

Leave him alone now and let him recover!

Good luck Richard, first step to help. Hope to see you back playing soon.

Wellbeing issues are not usually resolved quickly so it's going to be tough for the lad but I wish him all the best and hope he makes a full recovery

First of all, lets hope that the guy is ok & best wishes on getting sorted quickly and lets hope to see him putting in a MoM performance soon.

All the best Richard,it can't be easy mate
