If Danny doesn't play on or doesn't get a gig with the coaching side of things I could see him been a great on the commercial team, Selling the club to businesses and when and if we get the new east stand done with the cooperative sections danny could excel in this side of things, Just a thought

Is it his last though? I'm not sure he's said that yet?
But either way he is a big part of Wakefield Trinity history. Great player and great man.

I hope it was, or if he remains then only as a 3rd / 4th choice replacement.

Talking of old boys so slightly OT but I thought Atkins put in a great stint considering how rusty he was.

Said the same after watching it back, made 10 tackles I believe, not bad for an outside back.

I'll hold my hands up......
Didn't think he would be match fit, but he was outstanding.
Looking forward to seeing in action next season.

Opta says he made 14 though he missed a few as well.
Made 106 metres with ball in and too which was what we wanted from him.

Although he didn't get the ball, I thought his energy to get level with Dixon made the difference to him knocking on his second miss too.

Never spoke to a fan who anything but positive things to say about Kirmo - he's given his heart and soul for the club every time he's pulled on the jumper, even when he was clearly busted and shouldn't have been on the pitch.

I reckon he'll go another year but with a reduced role - a bit like Wigan do with O'Loughlin - and he'll deserve that; I hate to think that he'll smash himself to bits for another season and retire totally crocked.

Kirmond has put his body on the line in the run in this season, good on him.

I think his return helped turn us around, top tackler on Friday, you just can't knock that. No longer an attacking threat but every now and then he could still help out, especially if we run reserves this season.

Re: Danny Kirmond : Mon Sep 16, 2019 12:25 pm  

Coaching the reserves next year, but will still be registered to play as a player,
Hopefully this is just in case we have a repeat of this year and are struck with injuries and have no one left.

As his time of playing 10+ games has come.
