Shalom added about Fury: "He's a great guy. We are both from Manchester and we know the same people. We have a similar understanding. "Rugby has given me so much and for that I am forever grateful. The experiences, the opportunities, the challenges, and the lifelong friendships. Thank you to all the teams who gave me an opportunity, and whose jerseys I wore with pride." "I think Peter Wright's best result last week was a second round. Michael [van Gerwen] is not winning them all. That says enough of the quality of the players at the moment." Hodgson welcomes back scrum-half Marc Sneyd, full-backs Jake Connor and Jamie Shaul - who hopes to make his first appearance of the season - and forwards Andre Savelio and Jordan Johnstone. However, centre Mahe Fonua and prop Chris Satae remain on the sidelines.
