Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Would you rather have been born in Wales than Oldham?
I wouldn't change anything. Everything in my life is Welsh.
Will rugby league and rugby union grow closer together?
Maybe, in the future. It depends on what Mr Murdoch wants.
Who is the greatest sporting figure of the century?
Muhammad Ali, without a doubt.
What was the last film you saw and was it any good?
Austin Powers. It was OK, but I don't really see him as a role model.
What was the best piece of advice you were given as you grew up?
To enjoy everything I do. I was told that by my father and I've tried to follow that advice in my rugby career.
Apart from Leeds, which other rugby league team do you want to win every week?
Shaw Rhinos, the amateur team I coach in Oldham. We lost the local cup final to the team that Barrie McDermott coaches.
Where in the world would you want to live, if rugby was not a factor?
Oldham.
Which sporting event would you pay pounds 500 to watch?
World championship boxing.
Which language would you like to speak fluently?
Welsh.
Are you excited by the prospect of the Welsh Assembly?
No.
Now that you share a sponsor with Michael Owen, which flavour of crisps would you like your name to be linked to?
Umm. Salt and vinegar, and cheese and onion have gone. Leek?
