Rugby League is folklore. What captures our imagination is not simply the winning or the losing, it's the stories. The stories of perseverance, of sheer will, of hard work, of heartbreak, of miracles, and of triumph and tragedy.
Society is in a sorry state when things like this can happen. Condolences to Lee and all his family. I hope the culprit gets what he deserves, which unfortunately won't be enough to justify his actions.
news like this and other sad stories like leon walker really do put rl and sport in general into perspective, we think its the end of the world if we lose a game, clearly it isn't, no amount of words can bring her back, deepest sympathy to lee and his family.
thoughts and prayers to lee and your family.
at this saddened time words escape us but we are all thinking of you and your family,our hearts are heavy but memories are stronger god bless mo.
