LEAGUE 1 ROUND-UP
ROCHDALE HORNETS will have some real experience in their ranks this season after both hooker Sean Penkywicz and forward Fuifui Moimoi re-signed for the club.
Penkywicz will turn 40-years-old in May, while Moimoi is 42, but head coach Matt Calland still believes they both have a role to play at the club.
"Sean has agreed to do one more year with us, which is brilliant because his experience is invaluable in this division," said Calland who worked with Penkywicz at Halifax and then made him captain on his arrival at the Hornets.
"He is a proven match-winner and a great person to have around the club so we’re hoping we can look after him a bit better than last year.
"Fui is great to have around and is a larger-than-life character defying all odds by playing at his age.
"He was one of our best performers last season giving us real impact off the bench. He leads from the front and doesn’t say too much but he certainly leads with his actions he’s really enjoying his rugby at Rochdale and that shows in his performances."
At the opposite end of the age scale is Fin Stewart, who has also signed for the club ahead of the new season.
The young winger has joined from Huddersfield Giants' Academy side and will be looking to make his mark in the senior ranks in 2022.
