Both him and Burgess are quality both highly respected pack leaders who may not do the minutes they used to but what they bring to the team is alot more than a playing role, kudos KR and Hudds.

I reckon youd have criticised Leeds if they had signed JWH for next year especially when he inevitably gets a big ban.

It will be interesting to see which rules the WCC will be officiated in Northern hemisphere or Southern interpretation.?
