Is he in the World Cup or do we have him for start of pre season,asking because any over seas player we sign now would be better for us that they here from the start.

No we'd have him for the full pre-season i think. Have the Kiwi's announced their squad yet?

Surely a big draw for him coming here was the chance to turn out on the 4G pitch at the Select Security Stadium on boxing day?

Hope it's not at Widnes again this year

I am sick to death of playing Widnes. Last year ( this year ?) we played them 5 times including the friendly. Enough is enough, do something different over Xmas please or I shall be watching the ladies beach volleyball in Miami instead.

I agree time for a change, twice is enough unless we are thrashing the pants off them in the CC semi final. BTW Is that you, the ladies, just Holly or all of you in Miami FLA?

This is just me, my TV, and definitely no Mrs Winslade, who for some weird reason doesn't understand why the girls need to play in bikinis.

Bring back the locker/wardonia cup vs pies on new years day or weekend.

+1

In pre-SL days our Boxing Day and New Year's Day opponents were usually Wigan and Leigh. The locker/wardonia 'friendly' itself as always right at the start of the season, so was usually a firey encounter as both teams were ready to go. No reason why a new sponsored friendly of this kind could not be instigated, but taking place 5-6 weeks out of the new season may mean it has no more intensity than the Widnes match.

No he isn't. Though good to see Hiku named in their squad this morning.
