Webster's last game


Mr Hicks

Recommended Posts


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.

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

Thanks POR - That is my point.It is luck of the draw.Not fair on the players.

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...
