Superbly put JD. Can't fault you at all!

And to all those doubter....THAT is why JD is invaluable to the club!

A view shared by many

Excellent to hear.

We now need to kick on, get some form, confidence and consistency into our game and make a big push to cement our place in that Top 8.

Onwards and upwards.

Come On The Trin

I agree JD is a great asset to this club, but that attitude is not what gets him his shirt, his performances are, and I'm sure he would be the first to admit that if somebody else was more capable, that he would not want to be selected purely on his morale stance.
Please note this is not a criticism of him!!!!

I agree. No one is guaranteed a place in the 17. But as you say he is a great asset to the club and that should be said more often.

Agreed

I have to admit to being a bit disappointed by JD on Sunday!!


At the "Audience with" last week they spoke about Try Celebrations, I was expecting much more form JD after what he said at the evening.

Great respinse from him.

He is a great ambassador for our club and always talks good sense and puts it across right.

didnt hear the full interview on radio leeds, but did hear Jd say that the tronc and brough situations cuased problems in the changing room and that his opinion was that tronc wasnt very professional in his attitude. i.e had made his mind up that he wanted to leave and this reflected in his play and training. his opinion was that tronc as a proffesional should have seen the season out and allowed wtw time to get a replacement

also said that DB had turned down offers to stay and that in his opinion club did the right thing in letting him go

hopefully this will bring a closure to the episode of these two players and stop peiople complaining about the performance of the club re.them
