Firstly, please accept my apology for this rather long post, but I wanted to post something “positive” and it lead on from there…
At times like this it is difficult to find “positives” (not the right word, but all I can come up with), but here goes..
1 The rugby league community – just have a look at the messages of support from all areas of the game and you will understand what a great sport we are involved in.
2 The RFL – often called, but they did the right thing when the game was called off on Sunday and for allowing us to call off the game on Friday if we wanted to
3 Sky – ditto RFL – could easily have forced us to play the game, but understood that some things are more important.
4 Wakefield Trinity Management– Again often called, but this time been a “family run” club is an asset and will help us through this dark time.
5 John Kear – without him at the helm, we would be in trouble.
6 Wakefield Trinity club and fans – we have pulled together before, and will do so again. The result on Friday doesn’t matter, playing the game is the result.
I close my post with a copy of the sean bean sky football advert words, with football changed to RL. I saw it again last night on the internet and it sort of sums up how I feel at the moment..
Life
It can be difficult
You know that
We all need someone to rely on
Someone who's going to be there
Someone who's going to make you feel like you belong
Someone constant
It's ectasy, anguish, joy and despair
Part of our history
Part of our country
And it will be part of our future
It's theatre, art, war and love
It should be predictable ... but never is
It's a feeling that can't be explained but we spend our lives explaining it
It's our religion
We do not apologise for it
We do not deny it
They're our team, our family and our life.
Rugby League
We know how you feel about it
'Cos we feel the same
