All Our Thoughts With Danny Jones We are shocked and saddened to hear of the injury and apparent subsequent cardiac arrest suffered by Keighley Cougars Welsh International Danny Jones during the early stages of today's game at London Skolars. We are sure that the whole of RLFANS.COM and the entire rugby league community will be thinking of Danny, his family, and his friends at this time. We understand that Danny was treated quickly and taken to a nearby hospital. The game was abandoned when the seriousness of the injury became apparent.READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

Couldn't agree more.

Good luck, Danny.

RIP Danny. A Sheffield Eagles shirt will be delivered to Cougar Park tomorrow morning, in honour of you.

So sorry to hear he didn't come through it.

A nice lad leaving a young family without a father.

Absolutely heartbreaking, Griff. A very talented player and an even better fella by all accounts.

Met him a couple of times. Exchanged pleasantries and a bit of banter but I can't say I knew him.

Well done Mark Aston and Tony Tonks. I haven't donated anything yet.I will be doing so but I am more than a little angered that it now appears the governing body and League 13 have not done what I expected following the sudden and tragic deaths of Adam Watene,a Super League player while training in a gym,and Leon Walker,a young player in a reserve game in South Wales What assistance/screening there is has been organized for Super League players,only,it seems. My favourite past player Roy Powell also died from a heart problem. Obituary Brilliantly Written By Dave Hadfield The screenings may not guarantee 100% but I do remember when the brother of Gabby Logan died at 15 yrs of age it was suggested the cost of a test which may have saved his life was 50p.( He was gently kicking a football in the back garden )
