Wiki calls it a day

The 35-year-old had been linked with a number of leading Super League clubs but announced on Tuesday that he has ended his playing career and will pursue community-based and promotional opportunities outside the game.
Wiki, who played in 55 Tests for the Kiwis and 312 NRL games for Canberra and New Zealand Warriors, said: "I've had a great time playing alongside so many players, and it's been a lot of fun being able to say goodbye to all the supporters over the last few weeks."
Wiki said while there were options to play in Super League, retirement was an obvious choice.
"I could have played on - but to be honest, enjoying the finals run with the Warriors and then playing for the All Golds has been the perfect way to finish," he added.
"I couldn't have hoped for better."
Wiki's immediate focus will be the Kiwis' World Cup campaign, and he joined the camp on Tuesday in his role as a mentor.
