The first charity will be the Wigan Youth Zone, who do some fantastic work with young people within our local community and we feel privileged to be able to help them
“Paul, Chris and I are extremely proud of our careers in the fantastic game, which is rugby league and look forward to describing some of the many stories and life skills which it has taught us.
“After the hotpot supper, we will talk about our clubs and international careers, from our early days as youngsters, to performing at the highest level on the world Rugby League stage.
“For our corporate guests, as well as a fun evening, we will also be sharing some of the motivational and team building advice we were given during our careers.
“I am sure we will get some great questions and the pressure is on, to be both entertaining and making the format a success.”
