Yes he is. And if they are going to give JJB a game over him just for a farewell, then it just smacks of why we have the issues we have.

It would be incredibly harsh on JJB not to give him a final game when nothing rides on it.

J JB has given tremendous service to this club

What a distasteful comment that is.JJB deserves his farewell as a legend.This confirms why a number of people no longer post on this forum due to the KNOBS that try to monopolise it

I think JJB has earned the right to have a farewell game plus Walters can still be picked.

I said if given a game "over him". I don't care about what people have done in the past, it is the past, and playing half fit has beens "at the expense" of a good plan for the future, for me shows why we are where we are.

I think that's reading too much into it. The game itself now doesn't matter much - I wouldn't be surprised if half the team are already thinking about holidays.

Also JJB isn't your run of the mill retiree. I generally agree with giving kids a go, and he should never have played this year, but he did and deserves a send off IMO.

Fully understand what you are saying, but he spoke at the last home game and was hoping he could play one last game, let’s give him a fantastic send off to such a great servant of this club, the chap has given everything for this club and hopefully we can all give him what he truly deserves.
Gotcha, the issue here is both he and Ablett should never have been given a further contract at the end of last season, we should have been giving both these players a send off that they deserved last year, hence giving these two players contracts for this year helped stop the development of bringing in more players. Let’s hope we hear more news from Ablett, hoping he will be off at the end of the season as well

Cannot be recalled due to them being chosen to play for Featherstone over Leeds for the final games of the season.

I agree JJB should have been last year, I did however think given Ablett's age he would be okay for another two years.Can you see him walking away from another 12 months pay packet unless medically advised I think he'll be here next season?

I would be amazed if JJB didn't play the last game/s of the season.

There is room for sentiment at this club with nothing riding on the results. These lads may be crocked now, but the reason they are crocked is because they've run through brick walls since they were teenagers for the club and for our entertainment.

That shouldn't guarantee anyone a job for life mind; but certainly a respectful farewell on the field at the very least.

The club is built on heart and loyalty as much as anything else. Some of you are little black and white in your thinking IMO.

I don't actually think Agar will take his foot too far off the pedal these last two games, but we should be resting players with serious knocks rather than risk more chronic injury for nothing. We need as many people back fit for pre-season as possible now, it's all about 2020.

Well said Kaeru Jim

Now that we are safe, for JJB not to go out with a game at home is unthinkable.

He’s been a legend for this club, not necessarily from a physical exploit perspective, but his mental strength has been towering support for those that have played with him especially in big games.

He’s the last of the goldens, for him not to get to say goodbye would be crass and foolish when there is nothing at stake.
