With just ONE week to go, club podcast host Stuart Pyke caught up with our big man Alex Walmsley ahead of his testimonial game next Friday against Leigh Centurions at the Totally Wicked Stadium (8pm) in our first game of 2022.
Alex talks about his last 10 years at the club, including the ups and downs, his transition into being one of the senior members of the squad, as well as some of the less flattering nicknames he’s been picking up recently from the likes of Jack Welsby!
