    We (Trinity Heritage) have been researching Dennis Boocker as he was a star at Wakefield Trinity. We can add to his Newtown appearances. He played 13 games in his only season (1946) scoring his record 10 tries. He appeared to play in the first thirteen and miss the last two, including the play off game
