Ok Carter's statement made me think I should forgive Milky for going to Cas. The drop goal will always make happy watching https://fb.watch/fbx01p1g1r/

It’s all in the past.

He’s been a good signing for us, great on occasions but like all the other departing players there time had come, clearly Miller felt so and it was his choice - as it was Aydin and Batch.

No point dwelling on the past for me, I call it the Trinity disease.

If Poching has real ambition and ability hopefully next year we will be saying Jacob who, in the nicest possible way.

I get your gist but that drop goal will be the iconic moment of Magic Weekends for ever. Maybe even longer.

Some of TJ tries have been spectacular and we've had other drop goal wins and last minute conversions from the touchline but nothing can touch Millers Magic Moment for spontaneous match winning brilliance during our Super League stint.

Andy Fletchers try v Saints in the semi final is probably comparable pre SL.

Agree with post and the Andy Fletcher try was set up by two of the greatest players to put on a Wakefield shirt

I love watching that.

I'm in that clip.
I was originally stood behind the posts wiith my dad and brother where you can see a big gap in the crowd.
It was tightly packed and some idiots started throwing bricks into the crowd from the back.
So my dad got us on the pitch and we walked around to the North Stand and the camera picked us out when play was on that side.
He lifted me up so I could see when Toppo broke away.

I think Miller will be the hardest to replace. Decent half backs are hard to come by, especially on our budget.

Anyone know how Ryley Jacks has got on at Fev this year? Not watched him myself, but might be worth a shot.

A few months ago I'd have said TJ was the exception and we'd never see the likes again, then Murphy shows up!

New players will do new great things and maybe better, they may also make the same errors that the old players made but the train rolls on.

He will no doubt, this has been his best year in many ways. No offence to the lad but I hope it's down hill from now on.
