You're old-fashioned. I agree totally.

Silence is a mark of respect.

Appluase was introduce at wendyball to drown out idiots who could not show respect.

We should be better than that.

Correct, I'm sure all fans will respect a minutes silence if it is requested on Sunday.

there has to be - it's the ultimate form of respect the fans and players etc can show in their support of Basil & family - well done Cas

It would be fitting to have a minutes silence at all the grounds this weekend IMO,starting with the Saints game which have special signifigance to the Millward family from the RL family...

Agree with all the sentiments, Rugby League is a sport and a competition, but the things that marks it out is that it is a community. A minutes silence I would have no doubt will be held at all SL and Championship fixtures given the length of service to both provided by Ian.

It is a tiny gesture and won't help them in this terrible time, but it is the simplest and only thing the community can offer to show their respect and their thoughts, the very least people can do and I have no doubt that it will be honoured impeccably by supporters of our game without exception.

There is going to be a minutes silence and both teams are to wear black armbands.

It makes me proud to be a rugby league fan!

We asked the Millward family for today game at Leigh, (THEY WERE all there today) and they requested a minutes applause, so we did just that, plus it was a young lad, so more suitable I suppose. Robbie was a Leigh fan and it was nice to see all his mates there too today.
