players come and players go but we have been luck to have had a loyal servant to our club, they are far a few between most just think about chasing the fast buck as we have learned to our expense,

his career could of ended early but for the op on his neck and the defiant year playing #8 speaks volumes for him as a player and person, so I just like to wish Jason every success for the future in what ever he decides to do and a thank him for the fond memories on the pitch, the bradford returning ball run will live with me for ever eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif eusa_clap.gif

Quote: Tom G "Do you reckon Leigh would have a chance of signing him, how many seasons do you reckon he's got left in him. Would he work well with Wobbie and Duffy?'"


Just our luck for Leigh to get a franchise with JD at our expense.

Thanks JD awesome....

there are so many fond memories of Jason

He stands alongside the stalwarts of our club.

Phil Clarke's quote...

" JD has improved every season since coming into the game in the UK"

says it all and that was only a couple of seasons ago... he will do a sterling job for a lower graded team... but time catches up with us all... it is a shame he has to change club to keep playing!!

JD's shown more loyalty than a lot of the so-called fans. I really hope we can pull something out of the hat for the remaining games to secure a playoff place and give him the send-off he deserves.

Good luck to you in the future, JD, and thanks for everything you've done for our club!

I dare say you show more loyalty to your employer than the majority of it's customers do. At the end of the day as fans we are customers.

Only a Wakefield 'supporter' could turn what is a tribute by fans for a wonderful servant of our club into a dig at other supporters.

Really there is a time and place for having a dig and I am pretty sure that this thread isn't it.

Well said that man; relentless negativity about other peoples relentless negativity is still relentless negativity and thus, not particularly helpful.

I'm not turning this thread into anything of the sort. It's often said that players can choose who they play for, fans don't choose who they support. JD has played for this club like a fan would play for the club. He's been loyal in the most difficult of situations and never turned his back on us. I can't think of a greater compliment I could pay him.

If you feel offended by the comparison, then either I've expressed myself poorly, or you've missed the point. Either way, I stand by my admiration for what he's done for us.

I am certainly not offended, it was more a merger (if I dare use that word of this forum) of expression and misreading the point.

Absolutely gutted reading this news. I know his age is catching up with him, and I know it's the right decision by the club. But it'll be hard to see him play in a different shirt next season.

Still, he's given us all some great memories, and in the short time I've been watching Wakey he's become my favourite player, just for his sheer guts and pride every time he plays. He deserves every success next year, and I really hope we can send him out on a high - a good run in the playoffs would do nicely. I'm sure he'll continue to put his all into our remaining matches this season, I get the impression he doesn't know any other way.

As for next year's captain, my vote would be for Sam - made of the same mould as JD, and would possibly be able to spend more time on the pitch (though Tesco ain't doing too bad this season!).

Gutted, hoped he would move into the back room once he had finished playing. Best of luck JD and hope to see you back 1 day in the future maybe as assistant to king Willy when he replaces JK.

Good luck.

Would you guys have given JD another year for sentiment ???? I am beggining to think we should you know one more year as more of a squad player. But christ he is still a far better centre than Gleeson and more of a player than Henderson.

i agree, while jd had a bad start he has shown his worth in recent weeks, although alot on here say he is too old and finshed. He is in the top 22 plyers in the league for metres made, top 16 for tackle busts, and his overall work rate is very high, although he needs to cut his errors down. Jd is smashing our centres and backrowers in the stats and he is off qouta so i hope we can find someone who can take the work load and offer as much as he does for the club in general. I still believe if he was used a an impact player off the bench he would add alot to the team still and keep him fresher. but its a business and i hope jk gets his replacement right, because morrison has not got a full season in him and when he is out, there will be no jd to carry the load which will present a problem.

You can't run a professional sports club on sentiment, only on value to the team, skill, ability and potential. We've got more of the year years than you could ask for from him, but this year, and perhaps the end of last, has been too far for him. In my opinion of course.

As for a coaching role, it would be foolish to put a Poching or Demetriou in charge based on what they did for the club as a player and not on their proven record as a head coach.

Depends on how much he wants and how much we are willing to pay him.

This is a business, we also need to keep hold of the younger players. The money JD is on could go to upgrading the contracts of the young players that have come through into the 1st team. Rumours going around about clubs wanting Murphy, we could offer him more money (which based on performances he deserves) to keep him happy at the club. We might not be able to do that if JD stayed for another year.

I am sure the club will have thought about it for a long time, weighing up the pro's and con's. JK knows the worth of players so i'd stand by his decision.
