Meanwhile, Warrington forward Jason Clark been preparing for life after rugby league.

“I will actually be studying at Loughborough University which is going to be over the internet,” Clark told the Through The Wire podcast.

“I’m 32 now and, in this game, I don’t really know when it’s going to come to an end – it doesn’t scare me but it is exciting.”

Clark revealed that he already has an offer from back home in Australia and that he will take it up once his playing career has finished.

“I’m learning off Kylie Leuluai with him being the welfare officer.

“I will go back with the Bunnies (South Sydney Rabbitohs) in Australia.

“I think it’s an area in society and rugby league that is really growing and I want to be there to help people.

“The game is growing and there are younger players that I want to help – everyone wants a shoulder to lean on.”
