That was the quietest minutes silence IV ever seen; you could have heard a pin drop in the willows yesterday, a fitting tribute.

Yesterday minutes silence was very moving and once again Rugby League officials and fans should be very proud of themselves at the way this tribute to Leon Walker was conducted.

R.I.P. Leon.

As said the silence was a credit to Leon from the fans. Saw his family in the club so humble for everything the rugby family have sent/done for them since their tragic event.
In adversity, they stand so tall amongst us & they looked so proud. The respect shown for Leon will always be remembered by his family & the fans that knew/saw him play

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr

Hi Salford fans, congrats on your win.

I watched the minutes silence on tele for Wakefield vs St Helens and found it a very touching moment.

Just before kick off when i realised there would a minutes silence i felt priviledged (can spell that word) to be able to observe this at the match, with Leon Walker's family present.

However, it would have been useful to have some warning that it was going to happen, we were cheering our team on the field not knowing there was going to be a minutes silence, it started to quick for a number of people so you could hear seat going up (family stand) and you could hear the turnstyle turning as people entered the ground. Also kids will be kids and phone will go off.

That said, very well observed.

Leon Walker RIP

Good words but it was announced before the teams came out about the minutes silence and it was pretty clear it was happening when the teams lined up on the 40 metre lines. On the seats in the main stand I always think that, don't get why they don't stand up straight away.

Thought it was impeccable like others have said.
