Truly horrible to see; he has all my sympathy, hope to see him back when it's healed.

And have to say that I was much impressed with Senior's obvious agitation to get it seen to and play stopped.

totally agree senior did all he could

Thats the game we love. That Chev could wave to the South Stand summed it up. We watch the hardest players playing the hardest game there is.
Broken leg? patch it up son, im supposed to play the first 20.

echo that!

Keith will have known him since he was a kid, can't have been very nice for him either, he will be absolutley gutted for Chev and to have been involved despite the fact injuries are part and parcel of the game.

I've not seen the match as yet but heard about his injury while I was at the academy match, must be horrendous for him,
I got a text saying that my lad felt sick from seeing it and he plays in the under 12s, not really what he would want to see at the start of learning the game,

I hope he makes a full recovery, my thoughts are with him tonight

Get well soon chev!!

tell me about it I would still be screaming

Horrible injury. When I think how much just seeing it shook me up, that he could applaud the crowd is almost unbelievable. Fingers crossed for him.

gutted for the bloke, hate seeing things like that but im 100% convinced he will be back playing super league. remember the guy from cas who did the same, was it price the winger? he came back and iv had a mate do the same and come back, granted not super league but still played again.

Speedy recover and best wishes to the guy.

Best of luck to him. He has a few things in his favour. 1. the injury was quite high up and is hopefully a break of the shin bone without damage to the ankle, 2. He didn't seem to have too much blood on his sock so hopefully left all the major blood vessels intact (massive for the healing of the break), 3. he's a trooper as he must have been in huge discomfort but didn't even wince.

I really hope he comes back quickly and that Rovers do him proud in their next match as they did tonight. The scoreline doesn't show the endeavour, guts and steel of the KR players tonight.

This experience will stand you in good stead.

As a Leeds fan but rugby league fan first and foremost, I would like to send my regards to Chev and his famiy.

Just got back from the match and seen it on Sky. I hope to see Chev back on the field as soon as possible.

This puts the entire sport into perspective. Chev my thoughts are with you.

I've not been Chev's biggest fan but I truly hope he can make a full recovery and then put his bad luck with injuries behind him.

With only one year left on his contract and much of that possibly now spent in recuperation one wonders where he and the club go from here.

Good luck to the bloke and well done the Leeds fans for joining in the 'only one Chev Walker' singing.

To their utmost credit, they started it, I don't think anyone on the Western Terrace could really see what had happened or how bad it was.

Get well soon Chevron, and make sure you get back to top class RL.

Just like to wish Chev a quick recovery.
Sickening injury.

Hope Chev is ok, as a Southstander it was horrendus to see so close up, the reaction of Senior and Hall showed just how serious it was, and that seemed to filter through to the crowd. Great to see both sets of players almost form a guard of honour and applaud him, from where we were you could see the ambulance arrive only 4-5 mins after it happened so that is obviously going to help him by gettin him the medical care early.

Fantastic from both sets of fans, reminds everyone why this game is so great.

Terrible injury for Chev, hope it isn't a career ender; reminds everyone why this game is so cruel.

All the best Chev. In times like these RL fans are as one and I think it showed at Headingley tonight what you still mean to Leeds supporters.

Hope your rehabilitation goes well.

Good luck Chev,speedy recovery fella.

There is a report on sky sports text that he has had it opperated on tonight and that it was an open fracture wher the bone came through the skin, hopefuly he should be on the road to recovery soon, all the best of luck again to him and HKR.

Hope he recovers quickly. No player deserves this to happen.


I hope he does get back to playing again and that it doesn't end his career. Kevin Ward's career at Saints ended because of a compound fracture. Respect to a very tough lad, playing the hardest sport there is

Regardless of the colour of the shirt , I really do hope he comes through this terrible injury.

It's fantastic to see many fans wishing him well, unlike on Facebook where quite a few people I know are actually laughing about it. The FC fans on here have restored my faith in you lot.

Sickening injury, was stood right near the screen with my little sister who is 14, she saw it and screamed. Hope he can make a speedy recovery, and can walk again, let alone play a game of RL.

such a horrible thing to happen to any player, regardless of shirt colours, speedy recovery chev.

Maybe not the thread for this, but here goes .... Contrast the reaction of the Leeds fans to a serious injury of an opposition player this evening when compared to the ambulance 'chants' that Ryan Bailey was subjected to by numerous Robins fans, when he was carried off in a neck brace after a similar lengthy suspension in play at Craven Park earlier in the season ?
