He's been granted a three month testimonial for his services to British Rugby League over the last 10 years. He has been a true professional and someone every youngster should try and emulate in his attitude to the sport.

Why only 3 months when most players get 12 months for Testimonials? Players in Oz get longer bans than that!
Typical petty RFL decision - not like it`s going to cost them anything is it?

Chill!!

They did not have to award anything......quite sure JD will be happy enough with this!

I think a 12 month testimonial is reserved for players who have served one club for a ten years peiod while 3 month testimonials are for services to the game.

As they should be, as much as personally I think loyalty is over-rated in the modern game, giving 10 years to one club deserved the full 12 months. This isn't something which should be slagged off and is an honour that not all players with long careers get!

I might be being a bit daft here, but why do you need "permission" for a testimonial? Surely if the club want to raise funds to thank a player for their service be it 10 years or not, its them that ultimately generates/forfeits the revenue so why do they need permission?

Is something to do with tax or salary cap?

FULLY DESERVED !! WELL DONE JD..........

Great gets paid very well for doing a job he loves and then gets extra money for doing it for ten years - ridiculous.

id buy a tin hat if i were you!

He's selling tin hats to raise money for his testimonal - now theres a novel idea

Pound for pound one of the top signings the club has made in the past 20 years.

Give over, when did anyone ever need a tin hat on an internet forum.

I think he deserves it and has been worth every penny to our club.

Well done JD

Totally agree.

then don't contribute anything , its your prerogative

I don`t think this is the case, otherwise Jon Wells wouldn`t have got 12 months for his testimonial.

well done jd hope you have a great testimonial you deserve it

Well deserved IMO. One of the nicest RL players I have ever met and always gives 110% to the Trinity cause.

Hope he brings out a shirt, iv never had a Wakey testimonial shirt before.

what size are you

Hopefully not Medium as we're not very good at those!!

JD is a legend

Great servant yes, legend, I'm afraid, no.

congrats JD a great servent hope we can win him something this year!

I'm very happy for him and hope he is too, he's been a good servant to the club and will be remembered in this era as a die hard player

well done Jason
