I'll have a go but will be honest about my answers as you have answered already..

Quote: Lambchops "Pease Answer from Your Own Knowledge and Not by Internet Search

1, Name the former Wakefield Junior of the early 80s who went on to become a SL and NRL referee - Russell Smith - Didn't know that

2, Who were the three Wakefield players named in the Great Britain squad of 1979 Topliss Skerrett and Burke Knew that, Skerret named as Captain but didn't they all pull out with injury?

3, Name the two Trinity Wingers of the 80s & 90s who shared the same name. David Jones Knew that

4, Name the Olympic athlete who gave the Black Power salute while receiving his medal and later made a personal appearance at Belle Vue I have the video but to look would be cheating... So pass I know the story and I know Tommy Smith was the lead in the black power salute but I'm doubting myself. I say Smith though

5, Who was the former North Sydney Bears back rower who played in the Wakefield Trinity team alongside The King Allen Burns... But Glen Worne from the Bears also played in the same team....I was struggling with the name so can't claim it, even though he was one of my favourite players

6, After the International transfer ban was lifted in 1984, What was the name of the first overseas player to sign for Wakefield
We had been relegated... And had a very poor season... So I will pick some one like Don Swanston or Greg Gerrard
7, From which team did Wakefield sign Nigel Bell. Eastmoor Knew that

8, Andy Fletcher scored the Challenge Cup Semi Final try that took Trinity to Wembley in 1979 but who kicked the goal the goal was missed Attempted by Steve Diamond?

9, In the 1989 Yorkshire Cup Preliminary Round against Dewsbury which three brothers played against each other and what was unique about the final three scores of the game Kelly brothers and don't know - Knew Kellys but I'm guessing stored by each brother?

10, Name the former Yorkshire Sprint Champion who appeared on Trinity's wing during the 1980s Lindsay Rotherforth Knew that. Great player just in the wrong team.
