Wembley was the stand out moment for me. But the atmosphere in the semi at Bradford at full time was pretty special as well.

After that, Siddal was probably my favourite game. Totally changed my opinion on amateur clubs hosting professional sides. They were a credit to the amateur game.

The minute after Jerry's conversion was probably more memorable than the trophy lift! Great way for him to bow out.

Grand final for me all day long, the atmosphere, seeing BV packed to the rafters and a faultless team performance, watched it back several times and get a buzz each time

I’d try and sneak magic weekend in there and stay over a night or two in Newcastle or s couple miles out of the centre. Maybe somewhere like Whitley bay etc.

Yeah it was a great night. Best performance of the season and felt like a real event. I was gutted at the time, but I do think in hindsight a year out of SL was just what we needed. It's felt refreshing.

Agree, best thing that happened for Wakey

I liked the fireworks and event feel to the game.

Maybe it’s something we can introduce to some evening games and try make match day more of an event

Memorable things last season, the 2 finals and the reawakening of a club with it's city. Also 2 other things the amazing chant of Jerry Jerry Jerry was brilliant. Also the way we reacted as a club to Whitehaven's plight made proud to be a fan of Wakefield Trinity.

Wembley was ThE highlight, followed by the GF at BV.
Great trips to Barrow and Whitehaven and of course Toulouse (apart from the result).
Even the game away at Siddal will live long in the memory and the cherry on top of the cake had to be Jerry's conversion.

Wembley for me in 79 I had to join a ship in Kenya so had to miss the final, it was a long time to wait. Second the final againt Toulouse with the bonus of Jerry at the end of the game. Finally our owner who did so much for Whitehaven, having travelled up to Whitehaven it was a great away day.

Yeah, I enjoyed watching his League Express podcast last night. He's usually quite introverted, IMO, but I found him talkative and informative about his career. His disappointments with how it ended at Hudds and his gratitude that he got a call off DP to play full-time, without knowing which club it was at the time, enabled him to play on because he needed a full-time gig so his kids could attend their football academies, which are both rightly the centre of his world, as all doting parents. It's the reason he never moved to the NRL after that good WC. He said he got a few others but at most, it'd have been 2/3 years down under, which would have meant taking his kid out of his academy at Man City I think and he wouldn't have known whether that would have derailed his ambitions and potential career, so he got a better wage and stayed at Hudds. As many know he's got lads playing England age group, one at Man Utd and the other at Man City, if that works out he'll be made up for them both and he deserves it, he's sacrificed for them.

After his initial frustration with the injury, he puts it as one of his most memorable seasons he's had for various reasons, mostly because he just had so much fun with the lads, they all got on so close and of course his Wembley win etc.
I think reading between the lines if it wasn't for that back-to-back bicep tear and he'd have got through this season's injury free, I reckon he'd have probably gone another season because he was still good enough, fit enough etc. But I think those injuries made his mind up. As he says when the lads start playing he'll miss it but not the early morning training sessions.
personally, I'm really glad we had him at Trinity even if it was just for the year, a top bloke and an absolute gent.
