STEVE McCURRIE, of Widnes, a travelling reserve for Great Britain against New Zealand at Wembley this Saturday, will captain the Under-21 side against the tourists at Workington on 26 October.

A TRIBUNAL has ordered St Helens to pay Hull pounds 80,000 for the former Great Britain prop, Andy Dannatt.

BRISBANE, the world club champions, will not defend their title against the English champions next June unless the date can be switched. The annual fixture, last held in October 1992 between Brisbane and Wigan, could not be held this month because of the New Zealand tour of Britain and France.
