But isn't that the point. It should be exclusive

I think the International recognition, Challenge Cup and Championship part is too restrictive, there's been some absolute class stalwarts of the club who were unlucky to have had a great player ahead of them internationally.

There's also been some legendary Wakefield players who never won anything at the club yet gave the whole or majority of their careers at Trinity.

From the last 40 years who could possibly qualify?

So on that basis then, that will exclude any player what played for the club after 1968.

I think you are missing the details of the criteria:

"Players must match at least one of the following criteria to be considered for the Hall of Fame:

- Minimum of 100 games for the club
- Been retired from the game for 10 years or more
- Won a Championship or Challenge Cup with the club
- Have earned international honours"

You are just more likely to get a vote if you pass more than one criteria

Ah, you are correct. But I checked anyway, and they don't have to achieve them all, just you are more likely to be chosen if you have.

Initial post: As with last years entrants, this years members must have played a minimum of 100 games and been retired more than ten years aswell as winning international recognition, a Challenge Cup or Championship winners medal in their time at the club.

Not sure where it says you have to have ALL the above criteria ...
The top two are a must ... minimum of 100 games and been retired 10 years
Then one of the three ... international, Challenge Cup winner OR Championship winner

That criteria covers over 200 past players

I think that's part of the point though. We need to recognise those from 50 years ago as they did great things and shouldn't be forgotten, 78 or not.

People seem to be missing the point ... there are over 200 players to choose from over the last 120 years who have fulfilled the criteria ... a Hall of Fame is an exclusive club for legends and stars of our club

In years to come, the criteria may change ... I'm sure you can all name players who you think should be in who haven't played internationals or won a winners medal but for now the criteria fits what we are trying to do

No doubt about it. an obvious choice of Hall of Famer has to be Nigel Bell. Nothing less than 110% over his 300+ appearances.

I've no problem with that, they're deserving and ought to be recognised.

The problem is it pretty much ends with them!

Harry Wilkinson for his record number of appearances and Johnny Thompson for undying loyalty through Trinity's good times and bad!!

I agree but need I state the obvious. .
