Spedding 'unconcerned' over fixtures row

Speaking at the official launch of his online store, Rugby League superstar Richie Spedding said he wasn't bothered "one way or the other" whether Wigan's proposal to reduce the number of Superleague games in 2008 gets the go-ahead or not from the other clubs.

Some of Spedding's fellow professionals, such as Great Britain captain Jamie Peacock, have recently claimed clubs need to play less games at domestic level if we are to succeed internationally, but Spedding is far from convinced saying "personally, I feel I could play more games than I'm currently asked to, so I'm not entirely sure where these people are coming from however, if the change is implemented I'm sure I'll be able to occupy myself in the spare time it generates".

Before I was able to ask Spedding what he would do with his extra time he shot off to help a frail old lady cross the road, however sources close to the player believe he is working on proposals to solve the dispute over Kashmir between India and Pakistan, repair the hole in the ozone layer and eliminate poverty in Africa.
