Am I going daft in my dotage, or did I hear somewhere that wiki was making a comeback for the 9's?
 
Thanks to @globaleagle (Even if he is anal about English)

Ruben Wiki may be one of New Zealand rugby league's greatest ever leaders, but don't expect him to be barking out orders when he comes out of retirement at the NRL Auckland Nines next month.

Wiki will be too busy catching his breath as he lines up for the Warriors in the abbreviated form of the game, his comeback to competitive league more than eight years after hanging up his boots.

The former Kiwis captain will swap his regular role as the Warriors' strength and conditioning coach to line up alongside the players he trains at Eden Park, many of whom weren't even born when he began his first-grade playing career in 1993.

"Some of these guys are half my age," said Wiki, who turns 44 this Saturday. "I think it's exciting for myself to be running around with those young bulls."
 
Just a funny thought ... I don't know if Rueben ever got the memo about the no punching rule ... might be funny if one of the current grubs runs in to play pushy-pushy with him.
