Is it me, but JD looks fit and well he looks massive next to Glen Morrison in the Express, I hope he has a great season, he is built like a Brick

That really shows his commitment to moving into the pack from his days in the backs, when he was to be fair, a bit slight.

Mr Wakefield through and through. And one of the nicest blokes you will ever meet to boot! I really hope he wants to go into coaching because I feel we have a ready made assistant to beans in JD. He has the heart for the job (anyone who has ever heard a recording of a dressing room rant from JD knows what I mean) and commands the respect of the players. Out of all of our boys I think JD has taken the most from Mr Kear's coaching style.

JD for assistant coach in 2011!!!

Its amazing to think, that the story goes something like, he was ready to pack it all in, and was convinced by his missus to give it one more season with a new club.
He came to us and played full back against Featherstone on Boxing Day, and it has to be said from my recollection was rubbish.
In my 25 year history of watching WT, however, I would put him up there with the best in terms of commitment and ability.
I would love for him to have a testomonial - fully deserved.
Thank you Mrs Demetriou!!

To be fair he was rubbish as a full back at fev that day and then was rubbish at centre for a while but has been amazing since.

Can't remember the Fev game but I think he played at Fulback in our opening League game at Warrington? They kicked off and JD knocked on receiving the ball!
Presume Mark Field took over from then?

He had a nightmare at warrignton. He had shirt number 1 that year so assume we signed him as a full back.

Top bloke

His first stint as captain wasn't much crack either, for me i can trace JD's transformation to 1 single moment in time. The Cas game, our first under JK. Cas had a tap on about our 40, the ref blew the whistle but the Cas player couldn't have heard because he was still stood still looking round. JD charges up and put's the inbred 6 foot under. Nutley & Scully steam in and So do Korky, Catic and Betham.

One of the best hit's I've ever seen!!

Arise Sir Jason of Wakefield!

Yes,during that relegation battle he switched to another level as a player and leader of players.
His escape from the dead ball line a case in point.
Then the leadership this last year plus with Adam and Leon has put the gut into a different league in my opinion.
He stands shoulder to shoulder with this clubs greats.

100% agree.

The one poor season I’ve seen Demetriou have was 2005. After a dodgy start he was superb in 2004, I think he was troubled with back problems the following year, 2006 the whole team was appalling until the final six matches and from then on he has been a true leader and set a wonderful example as captain.

That run against Bradford away along his own in goal to avoid conceding a drop out, beat about 6 men, class

Pro's pro - biggest accolade of all in my opinion.

When would this guy who has served our club so well be due a testomonial?
Seems like from all these accolades he would be well supported, and in my opinion he deserves it.
