Wales Rugby League would like to thank Warrington Wolves for use of their training facilities last Saturday as they had their final session before flying out to Australia next week.
Wales under 23 assistant coach Mark Robinson is from Warrington, and he is grateful to Super League for their help in Walesâ preparations for the prestigious competition.
He said: âWarrington Wolves have been fantastic and weâd like to thank all at the club, especially the clubâs assistant coach Andy Henderson, who was instrumental in allowing us to use their facilities.
âWe had a good team building session in the gym and trained hard in the indoor training barn at their Chester University base, which is everything that the Super League players use on a day to day basis.
âIt was great for the lads and theyâll got a lot out of it in preparation for what will be a tough tournament.â
