The whole experience was surreal, I know during the week some fans of both clubs mentioned concerned about groups of fans not respecting the silence, I am very pleased by the fact that they had nothing to worry about.
Both sets of fans proved what a fantastic "family" the rugby league community is and how we all come together in times of tragedy. In a way I found the impromptu silence even more moving than the official one but throughout it all I had a team in my eye.
Good luck to all at Wakefield for the rest of the season - you deserve some happiness there now.
