Tears in my eyes reading this...#LEGEND
It represents more than the delight of ONE INDIVIDUAL, this photo represents a promise and an honesty that a group of men made to each other. There were several twist and turns over the six game period and plenty of easy ways out but we refused to accept that relegation was our destiny. Players looked after their futures but stayed committed to their promise and never wavered on the commitment.
The Wakefield wildcats have given many players opportunities when other club turned the backs and there are several in the current squad who know exactly what I mean. Sometimes players need opportunity and the wildcats have often provided it with only one thing asked in return. Respect the jersey and fight til the end, win lose or draw.
Saturday night the 17 players will carry the hopes of the fans, the club but most importantly of each other. This club has never been relegated since gaining promotion to SL and now the 17 chosen will represent the tenacity, desire and never say die attitude that is the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
Supporters support, players play and together you will stand tall!
Good luck JD'"

Thanks JD
Just wish you were on the pitch with them m8

I've always been clear on my admiration for JD.
This explains why. Good player, great man.

Ione player from the present squad can provide the same determination ,Leadership and inspiration J D showed we are in a safe place
COME ON BOYS SHOW SOME PRIDE.

Great post from a great man.

This is exactly the spirit we need from the squad on Saturday. Forget everything else thats gone on this season, we need to end the season in the right way, with a victory.

Thanks JD for your continued support and best wishes for our/your club.

Your last ever worn Wakey shirt still hangs proud in my wardrobe and the coaching nights down at All Blacks hopefully helped to where Jordan is now.Thanks JD,wish I could turn the clocks back and you lead the team out on Saturday.

Next coach

What an absolute top man.
Fantastic words from a superb club captain.

The guy is a legend already and this stuff is just utterly inspirational, come on boys, dig in and show some pride in the club, in each other and in the supporters of this magnificent club.

The giant may have been sleeping for a little while but, Wakefield is a proud city and our time will come.

That quote from JD ought to be given to our current players, verbatim.

I'd have him on Video chat before the game.

I'm not sure he'd appriciate being up so late when his club has a slightly important game themselves the following day!

Of course, I didn't cotton on to the timing

Unfortunately, it will mean nothing to most of the players who are here now; this kind of club folklore lives on with the fans, but not the players, who are by their nature a fairly transient bunch - especially at a club like ours; we don't have one club men.

Still - it's nice that he's thinking of us; you do get a genuine feeling that his WTW story isn't over.

That should be printed off and stuck up on every players peg in the dressing room.
