So let's hope the higher profiled player's testimonial doesn't detract from a real clubman's reward for 10 years (in the main comparatively low paid) loyalty.

Having (I presume) two testimonials running at the same club at the same time is a bit barking.

Peacock played 29 times V Leeds and that's 29 times more than JJB has.

I know what yer saying mate but surely you agree JP deserves the recognition of a testamonial.

Call me old fashioned but historically players giving 10 years loyalty to one club have deserved a Testimonial season.

Peacock is effectively getting a Leeds Testimonial on the back of 3 seasons. I say Leeds as it will be supported by his current team's supporters in far greater numbers than any other club's.

Basically I don't agree with a club running two Testimonials simultaneously unless (as in the case of Phil Cookson and Steve Pitchford) it's an joint testimonial.

Not my problem though so I'll shut up.

No

i wonder if they are awarding these type of testimonials as way of getting a bit extra and nothing to do with the salary cap also to keep them from going to the dark side for awhile.

Very nice shirt, a signed one will be in my collection and on display very soon

hear hear

Why not????
Just as in senior's case it was awarded by the the RFL for services to the sport!!

Typo corrected

Yup, agreed.

Peacock will have done well because of the salary he could command he was a free agent and several clubs were jockeying for his signature.

A player like JJB who has remained at 1 club will never benefit from that market force and that is what a testemonial should be for.

but is peacocks testimonial independant of his club something more do do with the rfl?

yes but does that make it any more worthy?

You know what is really interesting? We had a massive thread with many of our own fans recently questioning JJB's entitlement to a testimonial.

None of those protagonists have come on here to question Peacock's entitlement to one.

Whino fekkwittism at its' most obvious.
