I didnt get to hear about the shootings until quite late on in the day.. Rob Purdham is the only person I come into contact with from Whitehaven through our after match chats and social do's at our club.He is a thoroughly decent lad and I have no doubt that Garry was cut from the same cloth. Theres not much to add to other posts on here apart from the fact, that in our own way down here in the South, through our links with Rob we can at least know a little of how you must all feel .Rob is on compassionate leave from Quins right now and our thoughts are with him and his family.... but be assured ..the minutes silence held before our game today with Crusaders will be heartfelt..as will the words written in the book of condolence afterwards...

Thinking of you all, no words can desribe the situation

After reading all the posts on here it shows what a great family the Rugby League Family truely are.

May god be with you all
