RUGBY LEAGUE stars of yesteryear and the present day will get together on Sunday (1 December) in support of Whitehaven’s James Newton.
Haven’s skipper is recovering from a fractured vertebrae sustained in the Betfred Championship game with Halifax Panthers towards the end of September. The hooker will be in a supporting `halo’ for up to three months before embarking on what it is expected to be a gruelling rehabilitation process.
The Silverbacks Rugby League Legends will be at the centre of a fundraising event that’s taking place at `Rate My Takeaway Kitchen’ in the Packhorse Shopping Centre, Huddersfield HD1 2RT from 1.30pm.
Famous names that have already stepped forward for an `eating challenge’ that will involve repulsive or inedible burgers, pizzas and the like include Nathan Collins, Dave `Shrek’ Evans, Dean Gamble, Tom Halliwell, Martin Richardson, Deano Sier, James Slater, Liam Watts and Wayne `Waggataurus’ Godwin.
All Rugby League fans – and anyone else who wants to support a very deserving cause – will be welcome to attend.
Tireless organiser Jonny Morgan said: “See Danny Mei Lan Malin at his Rate My Takeaway kitchen serve up some `nasties in the bush tucker trail’ for the players including Waggatarus! If anyone would like to kindly donate and help James please click on the link https://gofund.me/7479f93b “
