“When it first came about and people were asking who I was going to play, I was a bit unsure to start with, people were mentioning Salford and obviously that would have been a nice touch because I started off at Salford, but being a Wigan lad and being from Wigan, playing for Wigan St Cuthberts and Wigan St Patrick’s swung it.“It’s the Wigan games. I have a lot of friends who go and watch Wigan so that’s one of the main reasons why I look forward to the Wigan games. Having Salford as my testimonial game did cross my mind but it was always going to be Wigan.”
“Daryl [Powell] coming in has been great, I think coming in after being at Cas for a long time, he was ready for a change, he’s come with his philosophies and his ideas, but I think he’s excited for the challenge that is ahead of him at Warrington.“We are excited for the challenge that he has laid out for us players but it’s been good, it’s been a fantastic first nine weeks with him and the group, it is that time now in preseason where the intensity is building up and we are wanting to play a game. The last nine weeks have been hard graft and bashing each other is getting boring now so I can’t wait to finally play”.
“I don’t think the game needs building up too much, if you look at what there is, obviously there are two different coaches from both teams and new players so it gives fans a first look at them. It is also Lee Briers’ first game back with another club, I have obviously played with him and been coached by him, he’s a Warrington legend with 25 years at the club, and he will be coming back for the first time.“Shaun Wane is also back at Wigan so all the selling points are there. Hopefully, we see as many people down there as possible. It’s going to be a great game, and I think if you have seen the squads, both teams are going full strength and it should be an enthralling game to get us underway for the season before Round One against Leeds [Rhinos].”
