| I think when I look back on Leon's career and all he did for this club, I'll probably just erase this season from memory and pretend it never happened.

I'd assume that as a definite but I'd have thought remainder of Leon's salary for year would be a fair bit more than 10k or so we've had to pay Sheffield.

On the field yes but can't underestimate his influence in keeping the squad together throughout the adversity. Wonder how many of the squad would be elsewhere without his efforts?

| Well played Leon! A Bradford legend.
It was disappointing that a section of our support would boo such a great player who has been struggling all season with his knees, but retirement is the right decision and I'm sure he leaves with the best wishes of all the fans - even the ones who chose to vent their frustration at the team's performance by booing him personally, in fact I doubt it ever was really personal.
Get your knees sorted Leon and get on with the rest of your life - I'm certain there are many roles you can still play in RL.
All the best for the future.

I'm assuming that Chisholm will be getting paid a salary! Would it equate to whatever Leon was on, minus £10,000? Hmmm...

They already had budgeted for chisholms salary while Pryce was on payroll as well, in fact sheffs delaying tactics have saved club six weeeks worth of chisholms salary too.

| Leon has earned a place as a legend at the club.
It was a disgrace some sections booing him when he came off, but not by any means the majority, and with hindisght he was clearly failing by trying to play on when it was the case that he was physically shot.
It is a brave decision by him as the last thing we need against KR is anyone struggling physically so I think Leon has taken one for the team. He could have eked the season out but that's not him
Thanks for the memories Leon and the next time you walk on the field it will be to a long and much merited standing ovation.

| Absolute legend, you could see behind the line when London had scored he was done. Been an absolute pleasure watching you mate and you've given Bulls supporters more pleasure than you could ever have known.
Good luck mate in anything you decide to do, see you on gamedays.

| If you want a reminder of how good he was watch his try versus Penrith in the 2004 WCC. You can watch it on youtube by typing in Rugby League 2004 World Club Challenge.avi

Can't bring myself to watch old games at the moment - hurts to see how good we were, along with how much more interesting and superior the game was generally back then.

Anyone who was there will remember the tactic. The "get Leon to put snow on it and have the biggest bloke nearby run straight at the fullback to make him cack his pants" technique worked a treat.
