Edited for accuracy.

Just thought it was worth coming here to praise the fans for chanting Walkers name after his injury.

I'm sure when he looks back at this he'll take a lot of heart out of the support he got from both sets of fans.

He's had one Operation already and has another one scheduled for Wednesday...

Happened to me.A real touching moment at a time of desperation for Chev.

Get well soon fella

Big raps to the Southstanders last night. All too often they get bad publicity on these forums but last night showed the majority are a decent lot. I'm sure Chev will have been in agony but your chants will have eased the pain a little i'm sure.

It was awful to see. Poor lad.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

I hope in some miniscule way the terrific reception he received might help him through the very difficult period that lies ahead.

Once again you fail to see the point and, indeed, the contradiction in your own post. Can't have it both ways my friend.

Nice to see that the 'respect' you talk of extends to your own posts on here, although, to be fair, I've been called worse and I'm sure I'll live.

My comments were directed towards the supporters of my team who were abusing CW prior to the incident (there were plenty in the SS I can assure you) but now want to feel all 'RL family' because they chanted Chev's name. Perhaps they'll reflect upon some of the mindless and insulting chants directed towards opposition fans and players that we get every game when tragic events like this occur?

Now if wanting to discuss our attitude to our fellow fans and to other teams makes me a sad little individual I'll just have to live with it eh?

What is this, a book of f***ing rememberance.
My point may be nonsensical but you still appear not to get it.

as just discovered the film footloose and likes the sound of it HA HA jokes cried! can i just say thanks for all your messages of support and let you all know that they will help me get over this sprained ankle no really the support shown cements the reason i play this game thanks once more i'm only a skip a hop and a bloody big jump away from my next game


I am sure it applies to the message forums comments too.

FWIW I totally agree with you. Some people are too dumb to see the double standards they've displayed.

Yes - you can have it both ways, that's the point I was making. The fans who you heard giving abuse were doing what sports fans do week in week out. When the incident happened though those same fans chanted Chev's name because they recognised how nasty the injury was. That's because under all the abuse / banter / wind up chants there is a level of respect which has set rugby league apart from other sports over the years.

There was no need for you to mention the abuse that certain fans were hurling at all. You were trying to hijack the thread and turn it into a slanging match and that is below the belt.

You will notice that most of the posts on here are wishing Chev all the best and saying nothing else. There's a reason for that.

Now run along sad man.

Perhaps someone should post this on Red Vee - www.therhinos.co.uk/news/7885.php
