| Truly shocked when I heard the news earlier, certainly puts things in to perspective.
May he rest in peace and it prompt improved screening for such conditions amongst sportsmen in this country.

Reading the reports, I can only assume that he may have had a heart defect, similar to Adam Watene and Marc Vivien Foé - more screening of such potential conditions might prevent such a sad incident occuring again.

I know its the Sun, but the only report that mentions the tackle, sounds like there was nothing in it.

[quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people.
As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg |

43504.jpg Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.:43504.jpg |

| Very sad, my condolences to his family and all at Wakefield RLFC
