The time I've spent in professional Premiership club rugby has been invaluable.

There's no such thing as lack of confidence. You either have it or you don't.

I can categorically say I will not be putting my hat in the ring. It's not something I have ever coveted and it's not a position I am interested in taking up at this point in time. I am loyal to Newcastle and they have been fabulous to me. I feel that is where my responsibility lies.

The players must be at the centre of their industry.
