Is it me, or would an invite to play Dewsbury possibly have been more appropriate given his start as an amateur?

I think the Rhinos taking on Dewsbury would have been a great sell actually! The treble winning Rhinos taking on the unbeaten Dewsbury Rams. It would have also been a nice acknowledgement of Dewsbury's outstanding achievement.

Will there be a shirt?

Yeah Diskin will be having his own made testimonial shirt, like Jamie Jones Buchanan and Kieth Senior.

I think its part of Jamie Langleys testimonial with Bradford also, so they are having a dual testimonial match, abit like Kieth Senior and the Huddersfield player, Paul Reilly.

Arghh, Ok, shame though, I would have turned out to see Dewsbury play at HQ. I will probably still turn out for this game as well though!

I wondered when this would be announced.I heard some months back in the club shop that it would likely be MD getting his testimonial.Seems ROB B is due one too but RFL byelaws only allow 1 per club,per year.

so is that:

Wakefield - 26th December 2009
Hunslet - 1st January 2010
Bradford - 17th January 2010
Whitehaven - 24th January 2010

Id expect another Friendly in between Hunslet and Bradford.

Season Starts Week 29th.

Looking forward to this match.

Isn't there ususally a York freindly too

Should be a good afternoon.

I wonder if the Bradford fans will knee jerk and react like the Hull fans did after winning in JJBs testimonial this year if they were to beat us.

Yeah but that's normally the acadamy/reserve team fixture!

One assumes just for us then? So we will play our round 4 on 29th Jan?

Nice appointment too for the Chairman of his Testimonial Committee

Glen Crosthwaite, Managing Director of Leeds-based Network Securities UK.

A long time supporter of the club

and IIRC the British Kick Boxing Champion at his weight.

I did wonder why their advertising seemed to be tied in to Mike Tobin's gym.

is there any results of how much the player receives at the end of his testimonial?

Is anyone else getting testimonial fatigue?

Poor Diskin, he gets his in the middle of a recession and after what seems like seven consecutive years of previous players having testimonials.

Its' a remarkable tribute to the longevity of this squad.

There's still Mcguire,Burrow and Bailey to come!!

How many consecutive years have there been testimonials now? I recall only a couple missing since 2003:

2003 - Cummins
2004 - Nobody?
2005 - Barrie Mac
2006 - Nobody?
2007 - Senior
2008 - Sinfield
2009 - JJB
2010 - Diskin

Anybody add to this or correct me?

It does show impressive continuity in the squad.

surely one a year isnt too much ??? you can just donate or support with what you can afford.

You're right though I bet the level of interest (and funds) has probably declined over the years if only because the novelty factor has worn off. How many years before Frannie to the previous one?

Hope it does well though as Diskin is exactly the sort of player testimonials were designed for.

Great to see the return of the ladies night. Looking forward to this!!!!







Just seen that there is a beach party too!!
