The Saints match was a truly extraordinary match (one which everyone hopes will never be repeated) in which the normal standards of rating performances in no way could be expected to be applied. Merely making it out onto the field of play was a highly commendable achievement.



JD, and all the team, you are the personification of all that is great in our sport and our club. Far from apologising perhaps it is us, the fans, who should question whether we are indeed worthy of you.

Only too well unfortunately!

I would also like to add that we may of lost the game, but you jason and the whole team have won the admiration of the rugby community

No need to apologise JD.



If any one needs to apologise it’s the fans after last night, walking out very early and slating the performance, there was no need for it what so ever and the fact they did not wait till the final whistle to clap the players says enough for me

The way the squad has played this season in honour of adam is quite amazing so far and this blow to a team of HUMAN beings is too much. To take the field and play rugby at all afterall that has happened this last six months is courageous beyond what should be expected of a rugby team. Nothing to apologise for JD, just give your kids a hug and keep on being the great leader you are.

Totally unnecessary JD - wakefield played with their hearts if not with their heads.





No one could or should expect anymore.

Don't feel the need to apologise JD. We were proud of you as our Captain and the rest of the team for the way you have all conducted yourselves this last week and for the last 5 months since Adams death.



I couldn't have even contemplated playing after the moving pre-match remembrance of Leon. The interview with Leon's parents struck a chord with all supporters. As a parent I could not envisage coping with what Leon's family have had to go through this week.



Hold your heads up JD and the rest of the boys. Also JK for the impeccable way they have all coped with such traumatic events.

I have to say watching the game on Sky last night was a strange occasion. It was a fantastic display of courage from everybody within the game but mainly from Wakey. Everybody associated with the club should be proud of themselves and not apologetic in the slightest. It is times such as these where priorities are restored and human nature is shown at its very best.



WRT Sky and Bill Arthur; last night Sky gave a wonderful display all around. I genuinely believe that Bill Arthur didn't mean to ask that question and I gained a sense that he could tell as he said it that it was insensitive and wrong. I hope nobody goes over the top regarding it as IMO it wasn't deliberate. It was a poor choice of question and wording and nothing more. Even so, Demetriou answered it with great dignity and should be commended.



I was also very proud of the Saints boys last night. The lack of celebration and sense of professionalism was evident. Similarly, Leon Pryce spoke exceptionally well at the end of the game despite his own obvious problems right now.



To finish, be proud of yourselves and your club. Everybody at Wakefield has provided a great sense of respectability at the present time and one result in the toughest of moments for the players is not going to change that. The memory of Leon will be served throughout the remainder of the season and beyond and done well I believe.

Bob on. He made a mistake and, as you say, was probably kicking himself as he asked it....no need for complaints, I'm sure he feels bad enough as it is!

I can only echo what Stirlingshire Saint has posted. Sums it up perfectly for me. The fact that the game took place at all was a celebration of rugby league under the most difficult circumstances you could imagine. Everyone involved in that game deserves to be commended.

yes rebel totally agree, the hardest part as been achieved and now we can look forward to the leigh match which will be a tricky encounter within its own right.



Friday really did not matter it was the first step on the road to recovery and thankfully we played a superb outfit who played the game with enough dignity to actually put in a very professional performance.



NO ONE AT WTW NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING



i as a fan have never been as proud to be not only a RL fan but a life long fan of Wakefield because I think even the cynical of spectators would be hard pressed to find fault within the way how we as a club have performed over the last 6 days and the last 6 months.



faultless IMHO

He could have chosen his words more wisely thats for sure, we were, afterall playing the top of the leaderboard for the last 4? years

It was a well played game and thats what mattered
