Terrible news , all our thoughts are with his family

RIP Leon, such a tragic loss at such a tender age, sincere condolences to all his family and all at Wakefield Rugby League Club

Awful news.

Condolences go out to his family and friends.

This may sound stupid and you may laugh at me as i didnt know the lad etc


I feel so upset about this, this game to me is such a close sport in terms of fans, players, clubs etc (I know sometimes its not shown on the boards, but ive seen it in St Helens this weekend) and for somebody to lose their life playing it is so heartbreaking

My heart goes out to the Family and to everyone connected to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, a horrible last 6 months for the club

Rest In Peace Leon...

Im shocked & upset. My condolences

Tragic news. RIP Leon.

not stupid at all, think you've summed up how many of us feel

All my condolences go to Leon's family and may he rest in peace. Such a sudden and unexpected death can never be understood or easily accepted.

However, subject to the feelings of the Wakefield players who would otherwise be playing on Friday, I hope the game goes ahead. Leon died playing a game he loved and enjoyed and it's postponement for any other reason would detract from his love of the game.

My thoughts are with his family.

This has hit me quite hard.
I feel proper upset about this might be strange as i never knew the lad.

R.I.P. Leon

A very sad day, and a tragic loss to the game of rugby league.

Sincere condolences to everyone connected with Leon.

RIP Leon Walker

I can only echo the sentiments of everyone else on this thread, the age of this player and the fact he died playing the game we all love so much seems to make it even more shocking and upsetting.

Events like this though really do prove how caring the Rugby League community is - regardless of which club people support I think todays events have shocked and stunned every rugby league fan.

All the petty arguments we have on a daily basis have been put into perspective by such a tragic incident.

Rest in Peace--the Rugby League family is thinking of you and your family.

Not stupid at all i knew at 7.00 someone had died and didnt know which club, im a wakey fan through and through but it gutted me at that point not the official confirmation it was one of ours.

Its not only the greatest game but the greatest sport community.
