I've read that people (not on here) want to sing "theres only one leon walker" after the minutes silence, i just think this isn't appropriate at the moment.
I'm hoping that everyone respects the minutes silence.

Yeah they will respect the minutes silence, im sure.
Yeah i know that its on our Facebook group and my Status had it on too, but whats the problem with this happening, we are remembering a young talent of SL, and a talent that could have been a great SL player, whats wrong with singing "one Leon Walker" in honour of the young lad? |

I just simply disagree with it, I know it'll be sung for the right reasons just i think we sing it for each and every one of our players and dont think it's right to sing it for Leon too. |

Im not a fan of the singing idea either. Then again though I won't look any worse on anyone that does sing after the minutes silence.
I feel the minutes silence is a fitting and reflective way of remembering one of our Rugby League Family. I certainly feel proud that as a game Rugby League hasn't turned to this minutes appaluse idea and I hope and I do believe that come 8pm everybody in Headingley will respect that.

It's taking things too far IMO. Respects are being paid with the minutes silence. |

That has also been creeping into our sport though. There was one at Wheldon Road a few weeks back.
Silence is the tradition and the right way to remember, IMO. |

I think it is in the majority of People's opinion. But its so easily spoilt by so few. |

Thanks to each and everyone of you tonight, the best minutes silence i've witnessed at HQ for awhile. It brought a tear to my eye how we all joined together to remember Leon Walker. Thanks to those who wanted to sing "Theres only one Leon Walker", i'm glad you didn't ( & if you did im glad i didn't hear you)
Well done those Southstanders and i am proud to be part of the RL family.

The minutes silence at Wakefield tonight was inpeccibly observed although in the end it turned out to be 10 mins and i will admit i did have a tear in my eye during it.
Just seen the interview on Skysports with his mum and dad very moving.
Its nights like this why you find out why RL is the greatest game.
