Stobart to sponsor new Super League season after reaching agreement with Rugby Football League Stobart, who are the principal shirt sponsors of Super League newcomers Widnes and have naming rights to their Halton Stadium, are taking over from Engage Mutual Assurance, who called a halt to their seven-year sponsorship of the game's elite competition at the end of last season. The RFL has not divulged the length of the contract but say details of the new partnership will be unveiled at a news conference next Wednesday. The new Super League season starts on Friday, Feb 3, when Widnes host Wakefield and Leeds launch the defence of their title against Hull KR. "I have been keeping myself in good shape by training with Canberra Raiders back home and I'm really looking forward to the fresh new challenge in front of me," said the former Canterbury Bulldogs player, who made 44 appearances for Wigan from 2008-10. It's an exciting time to be involved at the Vikings and I'm looking forward to helping the team in their push towards the finals. Widnes coach Denis Betts added: "To unearth a player of Cameron's calibre, literally weeks before the start of a new season is a massive bonus and having him on board adds even more competition for places and greater strength in depth to our squad." Auckland's Eden Park has been chosen to host the ANZAC Test between New Zealand and Australia on Friday, April 20.
