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.

If that’s the case I’d be very happy for us and Danny

The team will get his experience when it’s needed
The young lads will learn from a true club legend
And Danny can move on to the next stage of his career with Trin

That’s got to tick every box

Danny has being awesome this year
I remember looking at him after the Wigan game

He looked mentally exhausted, white as a sheet In fact
Yet he gave a great account of him self on the pitch regardless

The SL show interviewed him at the end of Fridays game
Be interesting to hear what was said

At his testimonial dinner the other week Matty Ashurst spoke about the positive influence Danny K had at the club and said he can't imagine Wakefield without him. Think he will do a brilliant job for the reserve team, he's seen the highs and also the very lows of Wakefield and stayed around where many wouldn't have. Great to see he will still be playing a part whilst talking a bit of a backseat on the playing side

If this is correct then I think that's fantastic and exactly what DK has earned.

He's just the type of player you want around the club in whatever role he takes on ,as his commitments to this club has been outstanding and if that persona and work ethic rubs off onto the youngsters I can see only good coming from the match up

If that's correct, it's a great outcome for everyone.

Nah, JT's no longer exists in fact I'm not sure they ever existed until JT created it. Modern life and the ambitions that come with it mean that Kirmo will have to move onwards and upwards, it may be at Trinity, it may not but I can't see him fulfilling the JT roll personally.

Re: Danny Kirmond : Wed Sep 18, 2019 11:38 am  

Does he have any coaching experience?

Re: Danny Kirmond : Fri Sep 20, 2019 8:03 am  

Great servant and ambassador for the club both on and off the pitch and if ever you needed proof of this, his performances this season have showed a level of grit, determination and quality that you cant coach. He's been awesome and it's fantastic news that he will remain at the club as both player and as part of the staff..
