Alex Rieder retires

[ricohchezwasp]

The season just got worse if possible

[Neils]

Shit.

[Brandnewtorugby]

A great Wasp that this supporter will miss watching. An excellent ball carrier, I think he carried 10m into heavy traffic when he last injured himself. Wish him well.

Sad news!

[St Bruno]

Such bad luck. Such huge promise too.

I wish him well for the future.

[NellyWellyWaspy]

That is very sad news.

Very sad for the lad - a player I had always admired in terms of attitude and effectiveness. You always knew Alex would give 100% and also that his efforts would be effective.

He was probably my favourite back rower, even amongst the stars

Its a shame for the club, but a blow the club can ride, but its a bitter blow for the player. I hope he gets to do something in rugby. And the best of luck to him.

[Tervueren]

A great shame for him, and for the club.

[NorthYorksWasp]

Absolutely gutted for the guy. He always gave 100% and, even in his early days with us, never looked ‘out of his depth’ in the Premiership. One of our best finds from the Championship. Wish him all the very best for his future and hope that he can get back to some form of fitness. Thanks for everything, Alex.

[Steve from Cov]

Good luck for the future Alex.

[Hymenoptera]

Unsurprising but unfortunate just the same. GL mate.

[Chilham]

So frustrating for Alex, the club and the fans.

Wish him all the best of luck for the future.

[Rossm]

Awful news. Bad for the club but terrible for the player. So sorry Alex. All the very best for the future.

[FishingWasp]

Bugger! Not the news I wanted to hear.
If you read this Alex, you always appeared to be a real team player and give 100%, which I for one always appreciated. Such tough luck. Hope you find what you want in life.

[DGP Wasp]

Devastating news for him. A really good guy. Wish him all the luck he deserves in future.
