It's a huge coup for Toronto Wolfpack to sign Sonny Bill Williams for their debut season in Super League and I can only applaud it

Sonny Bill Williams joining Toronto Wolfpack has now been confirmed and I can only applaud a move I feel has so much potential.

Recently I paid tribute to one of our biggest superstars in Sam Burgess retiring, but if rugby league can gain arguably the biggest name in either code then I can't see anything but good for our game.

Toronto's owners are making a huge but well-planned decision and good on them - it is a huge coup for the Wolfpack to get Sonny Bill in their inaugural season in Super League.

Toronto are a great story in their own right and if you had told me eight years ago that a transatlantic team would be playing in the top flight in 2020 I would have never believed you.

Not in a million years.

But sport changes and would have thought Bradford would go from World Club champions to being relegated and eventually liquidated?

It was also not so long ago that Manchester City were struggling in the third tier of English football.

The way sport changes genuinely fascinates me, so Toronto's rise is something to keep an eye on.

On Great Britain matters, it is our third match of the tour this weekend and will be the first time I have faced New Zealand in Christchurch.

Our last game was in the balance right until the end - we probably could have executed better in attack but as a group we felt it was hard to fault the overall performance.

In those type of games, the goal is always to concede no more than two tries and keep the opposition to under 16 points.

There was much talk about the slowness of the ruck and, while we wanted to score more tries, we have not been helped by losing more bodies.

Ryan Hall got injured but that is the nature of the game and a lot of lads are versatile. The game is about opinions and I'm sure there are people back home who would have picked a different Great Britain squad.

But Wayne Bennett is the coach for a reason and you have to back him - seven NRL premierships suggests he knows what he is doing.

We are looking forward to this week and hopefully picking up a win before the final Test in Papua New Guinea. Being on tour can be challenging and enjoyable too, but essentially we are here to do a job and win Test matches.

It's a long old season and I think Chris Hill is close to racking up his 40th appearance of the year.

On days off, some of the lads might go for a beer together, play poker, give the Xbox and PlayStation a bit of hammer or spend time with any family they have out here.

Jonny Lomax is doing a degree and getting a bit of extra study in, so there is never a dull moment in camp and often pranks get pulled.

Josh Hodgson lost his passport prior to the flight to Christchurch, much to his panic, and I hold my hands up for that one. It was in response to Josh and Lachlan Coote putting Tabasco sauce in my water... after I had bought them lunch!

They were in hysterics and we have a WhatsApp group between us which is always interesting, but I do not do any social media.

When I was a kid I had a poem on my wall about looking at the man in the mirror. I wouldn't want those views to be distorted by people who are entitled to an opinion as I have no wish to open myself up to criticism.

If I had social media as a kid then I dread to think what I would have said online to certain players of Wigan, Warrington, Liverpool or Manchester United.

It has addictive qualities - Tevita Pangai Junior said earlier this year he spent over 10 hours a day on social media - but it is not for me. In other big news, it has been announced that England will play Australia in an Ashes series at Bolton, Leeds and Tottenham next year.

There is talk of the Kangaroos also playing some club sides while they are on tour and I think that would be fantastic.

For me, international rugby league is in the best shape it has been for a long time and the more quality games we have, the better.

It does not get any tougher than an Ashes series against Australia but hopefully we can sell out for all three games - and hopefully I will be involved myself.
