Well done to SKY sports for showing the tribute before the kick off. I thought it was a nice gesture.It brought a tear

grown man and all that.

i didnt know what to do after that video of Mr and Mrs Walker. the ground was silent so i think everyone was in the same boat.

did anyone get to clip some idiots for disrupting the minutes silence???

all were well behaved near me

They did well but I think most credit goes to the crowd who were the subject of the haunting images between the message from Leon's family on the big screen until the teams came out.

Not a peep came through on Sky.

No one disturbed the silence in the groud. I am sure of it.

The tribute was very nice of sky, certianly emotional watching it.

thank god for that!

i know that after the tribute when the crowd was still silent before the teams come out...... you could hear Eddie in the commentry box talking and some idiot shouted "shut your mouth you muppet" soon after he was clipped round the lug by an 80+ fella who told him to have more respect..... never seen anyone go so quiet in my life

only thing i could hear was a plane in the sky and a few sniffles around the stand

guilty as charged

The word that came to mind in the build up was DIGNITY and as an outsider it seems the Wildcats have that in abundance.

Yeah you could hear Eddie but thankfully the silence had not started at that point.

He even said at one point he was the only one talking in the whole ground.

Same here mate. No bother at all during the silence, just as I knew it would be

Did he, when the tribute came on everyone went silent until the game had started. Like I said I did not expect and ignorance from anyone tonight

He handled it well and the images they showed spoke for themselves.

Eddies didn't speak during the officialsilence, butjust after the tribute had been shown on the screen, Sky came back from a break, so he obviously had to explain what was happening. At that stage there was no official silence, and he talked about Leon.

I thought the whole thing was very moving, and a very nice tribute.

The only time anything has come close for me, was after the IRA bombings in Warrington when two young boys were killed. The two teams (Wire and Saints) walked out side by side in complete silence. That was incredibly surreal and eerie, and I have always felt it to be a great tribute.

Well done to Sky and everybody at the game for respecting this. You could see the emotion in the fans eyes that they showed on TV.

Sky did a damn good job last night and throughout the tribute and the minute's silence I didn't hear a single voice. It sounds like it was observed very well indeed. Respect to the crowd for that.

Yes hats off to Sky - a very respectful and dignified broadcast befitting the sad proceedings.

The fact that they remained silent as the on field tribute to Leon was read out, despite it not being of the best sound quality for TV broadcast, gave the viewer a real sense of occasion.

Well done to SKY (Bill Arthurs dumbest ever question excluded) and well done to everyone in the ground.

Last night was the most surreal atmosphere I've ever experienced at a game. Obviously the 10 minutes before kick-off was always going to be a very emotional time, but even that was very strange with the crowd not really knowing what to do after the tribute to Leon. In the end everybody opted for a respectful silence.

It was very fitting that Wakefield were the first team to score but to expect the players to continue for the full 80 minutes was just too much of an ask. The rest of the game was played in a very subdued atmosphere and while we watched the players do their jobs it was evident that the crowd and the players especially Wakefield were very flat.

Leon Pryce gets some very bad press at times, often deserved and self-inflicted, but last night his refusal to celebrate his tries and his post match interview were a credit to him.

It's my understanding that the minutes silence at all the other games was impeccably upheld and great respect was shown by everybody in attendance.
Overall the whole of the rugby league community has emerged from last night's game with tremendous credit but special mention has to go to everyone involved that Wakefield Trinity.

I thought Sky did a very good job.

I must say when being interviewed JD showed great strength. From what I have heard over the last few months JD has been an immense source of courage and leadership for your club.

hes a man mountain

Yeah I know he did not talk during silence, it was just realy quite in the ground and you could hear Eddie talking. Just shows how quite it was really.

Very very moving, my heart goes out to the family & friends and well done to SKY and all at match.

Yes pal was at the jjb watching wigan v giants and was perfectly observed just planes overhead could be heard and paper blowing in the wind.

and a nod of respect to James Graham too, flatly refused any form of celebration after scoring, set the tone that Price followed.

the sky coverage was spot on, as was the crowds reaction for ten mins before the game, how anyone could have played a game after that is beyond me.

I was sat in the stand directly in front of the radio commentators bench and heard Ray French telling his listeners of the moment that Leon's family and team-mates walked out to half-way. His comments were something along the lines of;

[i"Leon Walker's family have just walked along the touch line to half-way to massive applause with everyone on their feet, and now the ground has fallen silent. It's an eerie silence with just the wind blowing around us. An impeccable silence, with still a good few minutes before the official minutes silence. I've never seen such a thing at a Rugby League game."[/i

I don't often agree with anything Ray says, but that summed-up that particular few minutes nicely.

I was thoroughly choked last night, from the moment I walked up to Belle Vue to stand at the railings covered with tributes to Leon, through the Sky interview with his parents, and to the final whistle.

Well done to everyone who attended the game, and those involved.
