WOLVES fans have had a first glimpse of what to expect from the new arrivals on the field.

And now we learn more about them at work and play, along with how they have settled into the club.

Ashton Sims was the first to make the move, relocating with his young family from Australia to Appleton before Christmas.

And the Fiji captain is confident leaving the NRL for Super League was the right decision.

“Talking to Tony (Smith) over the phone before I signed, he was really adamant that this is a professional club and he wants to keep it like that,” explained dad-of-three Sims.

“He was keen to get me on board and after a little bit of thinking and talking with my wife, I knew it was the right decision to come over here at this time in my career – I’m really glad I made the move.

“The kids are at school and the wife’s in a routine, so it’s business as usual for us – we’re not too much of a complicated family.”

Wolves’ powerful prop took the opportunity to soak up some British culture during the off-season, treating the family to a weekend in Edinburgh.

“It was amazing. It’s unbelievable to put it in perspective how young Australia is as a country compared to the castle in the middle of Scotland, which was built in the 1300s or something ridiculous like that,” said the former North Queensland Cowboys man.

“I think our oldest thing in Australia is about 1850. It’s great, it’s probably a place I would never have had the chance to visit if it wasn’t for rugby league.

“There are a couple of places I want to see. In the summer I want to try and make it down to Portugal to watch the Rip Curl Pro there, the surfing.

“I do want to see places, but I am here for a job and here for rugby league. All that comes secondary and I want to come over and keep Wolves as one of the premier clubs in the country.”

Daryl Clark remains a fan at heart, but when he is not watching amateur rugby or out with his girlfriend walking their Dogue De Bordeaux, he’ll be on the Xbox.

“I love playing Call of Duty and FIFA, so I spend a lot of my spare time sat down doing that,” laughed the Steve Prescott Man of Steel winner.

“But I watch a lot of amateur rugby back home because lots of my friends through school and through amateur rugby still play for the local club.

“Even when I’m away from rugby I’m involved watching people I know play. A few of my mates are Cas fans so maybe if I’m over that way and we’re not training or playing then I’ll go down and watch.

“I’ll keep an eye out for the scores because I still want them to do well. I was there for a long time and all my family are from Castleford, I’ve supported them for a long time and will be hoping they do well.”

Gary Wheeler’s family are St Helens born and bred, and the 25-year-old admits he has some work ahead to convert his nan to follow Warrington.

“It was a bit strange at first,” he said about donning primrose and blue for the first time. “I thought ‘I’ve got the wrong kit on here!’ “But I’m working on it. I’ve got a few friends who are Warrington fans anyway so they’re happy. My mum and my girlfriend are Warrington fans now. They all came down to the games and loved it.

“It’s trying to change my nan – she’s a Saints fan!

“But I’m loving it at the minute. It was really good to pull on the Warrington shirt, it means a lot. It’s a great club and I’m here to win trophies, which is what Warrington want to do as well.”

Wheeler, dad to 17-month-old daughter Savannah, is hoping to win over his new teammates with a spot of fishing.

“I’ve got a little daughter so she takes up most of my time,” he explained. “I like to do a bit of fishing, too.

“It’s not been the weather for it of late, but a few of the lads here enjoy a bit of fishing as well so I’m going to try and get them on board.

“I like spending time with my daughter and my dogs. I’ve got three dogs so they take a bit of walking and a bit of time.

“Savannah takes the last of my energy out of me; I think it’s harder at home than it is at training – I look forward to coming to training for a break!

“No, it’s good fun, I enjoy being a dad and it’s really great.”

TRIO'S ROAD TO THE HALLIWELL JONES STADIUM

WARRINGTON Wolves’ new arrivals for Super League XX have reached The Halliwell Jones Stadium via very different paths.

ASHTON SIMS:

New South Wales-born Sims hit the NRL scene with St George-Illawarra Dragons, Wolves’ 2015 World Club Series opponents, in 2003.

Having spent four years with the Dragons, he joined Brisbane Broncos and finally North Queensland Cowboys in 2011.

The Fiji captain enjoyed one of his best seasons last time out, helping the Cowboys to the NRL finals where they were beaten 30-31 by Sydney Roosters.

DARYL CLARK:

Yorkshireman Clark is another who joins Wolves off the back of a successful season.

The 21-year-old played a huge part in home-town club Castleford Tigers’ run to the Challenge Cup final at Wembley, where they were beaten by Leeds Rhinos.

The hooker capped an impressive year by being named the Steve Prescott Man of Steel winner, collecting Super League Young Player of the Year and making his England debut in the Four Nations.

GARY WHEELER:

Half back or centre Wheeler makes a short journey to Warrington from reigning champions St Helens.

After 12 appearances last year, the 25-year-old former Blackbook junior was released by the club he joined as an academy product.

Injuries restricted the ex-England Schoolboy international to little more than 50 games at senior level.
