It is a tragedy for everybody, and being on Mothers day it's the worst news a mother/parent could receive.
Thoughts go out to family, friends, team mates and others associated with the club and Leon.

In total shock at what has happened to the young Leon Walker, At round about the same age myself it puts things into perspective...
R.I.P
A great loss not only to his family and friends but to the Rugby League community as a whole...

May his family and friends and all at Wakefield feel the warmth and comfort of the Rugby League Family's collective arm around their shoulders at this awful time.
RIP Leon.

Same here. And they both play. I can't imagine what his mum and dad are going through. |

as fans we sometimes forget, every single time a player takes the ball in as we want them to, hard and fast, theres a danger, every single time from every single player, from junior to international.
i didnt know Leon but I Respect every single player who plays the greatest game. for now it does not matter if its a wakey player, and im a wakey fan through and through, what matters is the respect of the RL community, and i hope Leons family and friends can see that here.
RIP LEON AND BEST WISHES TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN THIS IMPOSSIBLE TIME
and thanks for playing the greatest, hardest, no steps back, no hiding place, game.

| Quote: espanyolswan "Feel this debate is best left for now until funeral arrangements etc are finalised.
Until then it's best to reflect on a tragic time and feel for his family, team mates, everyone associated with the Wildcats and also those Celtic Crusaders players who were playing against him at the time.
RIP'"
I do not disagree.... but I personally feel his memory is best served playing the game he clearly loved but there are obviously other considerations that need to be taken into account.
My reflection is with his family as the rest of my post indicated and my thoughts remain with them. |

| Yesterday I watched my son, the same age as Leon play. As a mother my heart goes out to his family - there 'for the grace of God...
RIP Leon son.  |

As a mum myself, I feel desperately for his parents and family.
Our players risk so much every time they play our beautiful game. Respect to them all.
To Leon . RIP ... my condolences to your family and team mates.

Terrible news, my heart goes out to his family and I'm sure they can only take comfort from the fact that he passed away playing the sport that he undoubtedly loved. May he rest in peace and, hopefully, some positive may come from this and possibly lead to better screening for potential heart defects and the like.
My thoughts are with his family and friends, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
