Its taken me a while to write something about last night.
In almost 50 years of watching the game I have never been priviliged to be part of such an emotional roller coaster.
The pre match tribute to Leon was fantastic so much so that everyone in the ground was stunned into silence.
The silence itself was impecable and whilst I wanted my team to put up a show regardless of the score and after what they have gone through I can say with great pride how proud I was of every player in red white and blue last night.
Saints your fans players and club did you proud last night, the game was very professional and you played very well. Wakefield tried like hell but mentally and emotionally they were drained.
Finally Leons Mum and Dad (and his family) What a fantastic tribute to their son his sport and our club, they can be exetremely proud of Leon and themselves. life is full of tragedies and Leons death is another to add. To all of you that attended the game the game last nights thanks fro your atendance and support its really appreciated and good luck for the remainder of the season.
I've watched Rugby League for well over forty years and I've never heard a minutes silence disrespected.
It's not for us the new 'trendy' idea of the minutes applause which is only used to drown out the moronic tendency. Rugby League fans know how to show respect.
The Wakefield club are hurting right now, but they are going to get over this terrible period they have suffered and will come back stronger for the experiences.
With all the problems at our club thought your fans behaved impeccable friday. Not a easy place to come with whats been happening. It just showed when things get tough rivalrys etc go out of the window and the rugby league are there for each other. Well Done St Helens!
Gotta hand it to you Saints. You handed the difficult the match on Friday better than us, although to be honest, I'm not disappointed about the defeat. Best of luck in the Cup next week.
It was the most weird game I've ever been to. After the video tribute, practically everyone was wiping away tears. Even a week later, it upsets me to think about it.
Great display from Wakey. You might not have won, but you tried your hardest on what must have been a very difficult night and that's what Leon would have wanted.
