Wolves and Rabbit-oh My!
The Wolves will be playing host to the South Sydney Rabbitohs next Sunday, kick-off 3pm
The Rabbitohs are currently fighting to gain entrance back into the NRL after the competition was cut down to 14 teams. Helping the South Sydney side raise awareness and also giving some of the up and coming Wolves players to try their hand against their aussie counterparts Coach Darryl Van de Velde is using the game to aid pre-season training. It also gives the chance to see new signing Rob Smyth strut his stuff on the wing and see if he can match or even beat his opening home game try scoring feat.
Youngsters on the brink of the first team such as Paul Wood, Mark Gleeson, Steve Kirkbride and Ian Parry will be eager to show the first team coach just what they can do when faced with tough opposition. Other more established first teamers will also be playing with the like of Jamie Stenhouse, Will Cowell, Paul Noone and Chris Campbell already having broken into first team from the Wolves ranks.
