While at the wildcats JD was 2004, 2006 and 2007 MOS 2007 dream team, 2007 coaches player of the year and supporters player of the year, consistantly top 25 in super league for line breaks and tackle busts, earned an award for outstanding contribution to super league. He was outstanding in 06 survival winning try in 04 playoff, try in million pound game and that great run out of the in goal at bradford in 06. He also lead us through some extremely difficult circumstances and JK refers to him as the best overseas player wakefield have had since super league began. These are all outsanding contributions from a player who will always be remembered on the terraces so in those terms yes he is a modern day legend.
Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "I see JD as a decent player in his time and always gave 100%. However, I don't think these qualities alone make anyone a 'legend'. It's a term that should be reserved for the likes of Neil Fox and David Topliss. I think 'role model' would be more appropriate.'"
