Quote: Fax Faithful "I was at the u16s final and was amazed to see a Stanley try converted by a squad member who wasn't even playing! That is just plain disrespectful to the opposition and the officials. That said, you would hope that the officials would have picked upon this. Stanley u16s are a quality team and don't need to be pulling silly stunts like this.'"
Calm down, the player was Connor Ballinger, who has been with Stanley for years, and that game was going to be the last time they all play together. The kid had a bad injury and was gutted not to be playing, and the coaching staff decided to let the player take a conversion. This however is not disrespectful, its just letting a player take part in the game, and to be fair the score should have been 80 let alone 50, so those two points made naff all difference.
The Normy coaching staff and one Woman with a voice that was on par with the volume normally associated with a Motorhead gig noticed. The calls to have Stanley stripped of the Cup did however make me laugh, and the rfesponse of you can stick it up your

The Stanley team have been a pleasure to watch, and what a top bunch of lads they are too, good luck to them all, especially the ones who go onto better things in rugby league than the wakefield amateur scene.
