Mr Hicks Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just read somewhere on the internet that this is Webster's last game as he will retire after it. A player who has played at the level he has for so long the body wont take it. We have a decent squad now so we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigogo Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Not surprised by the news tbh, couldn't see him playing unless we got quite a few injuries. Stellar career and I hope Sunday is packed out for him. Looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dovster Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 He deserves a good turnout on Sunday. A great career and he does seem a genuinely nice chap. Hopefully we won't need him to play this season. I am also looking forward to the game and let's hope the weather behaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelic Cynic Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Only the sport of rugby league could reward the loyalty,and longevity,of the players,by having them attempt to shoehorn a Testimonial game into a pre-season 'slot' during an English winter. I have no desire to seek out the rules and regulations for Testimonials from the arcane RFL 'transparency' - but if someone can apprise me,it would be appreciated. I hope lots turn out when the game for Jake Webster is played. No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry A it's nowt to do with a pre season slot during and english winter It's just the luck of the draw FEV held a testimonial infront of 3000 for Craig Hall on a bitterly cold friday night definite brass monkey weather before the big freeze set in on sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think NOT playing in winter will attract larger attendances. I still seethe when I think of Sheffield Eagles not having a Testimonial game for Menzie Yere. Your man,Craig Hall,fortunately,drew a decent attendance,but as he crossed the Hull divide he may have attracted a few FC followers if a different opposition,in warmer conditions,with a different KO time,had been possible. It just seems we don't put the players at the top of the priorities. Works ok in soccer. End of their season is the summer... No reserves,but resilience,persistence and determination are omnipotent.
