Anthony Mullally
signs upgraded deal at the Vikings

Mark Naughton.
THE Vikings have announced
the re-signing of Anthony Mullally on an upgraded one year deal
which sees the 20 year old switch
from an Academy contract to a First Team package. Back in
February, the young forward packed his bags and left his native
Widnes in readiness for the opportunity of a lifetime, spending the
entire 2011 season playing for the Brisbane Broncos Under 20’s team
in the National Youth Competition under the tutelage of the clubs
head coach, Matthew Wood. Fortunately, it turned out to be a
win-win situation for all concerned and Mullally returned from his
overseas experience "a much fitter, faster and hungrier
athlete" according to former Australian international Allan
Langer, who is now employed as a skills coach at Brisbane Broncos.
Signing a full-time contract at the Vikings is a "dream come
true” according to the 6’ 6”, 17½ stone forward. "As a
young lad it was always my aim to play for the Vikings in Super
League and with a bit of luck and a lot of hard work, hopefully I’ll
achieve my goal. The 9 and a half months I spent at the Broncos was
rewarding in so many ways and I genuinely believe that I am a better
player and person for the experience. Hopefully I can take the
lessons I’ve learned into both pre-season and 2012. Obviously my
aim, initially, is to break into the team and if I get my chance I
know for certain that I’ll be giving it my all in an attempt to keep
my place and get as many games as I can under my belt. With a bit of
luck, a few of the younger lads in Denis’ squad will get a run-out
in the pre-season friendly games and I know they’re all as keen as
me to make the most of their opportunity." said Mullally.
One person thrilled by the return of a much-improved Anthony
Mullally is Vikings’ Director of Rugby Paul Cullen who played a key
role in his Australian adventure, having instigated the partnership
with Brisbane Broncos in late 2010. Cullen has high hopes for the
local lad:- "We challenged Anthony to move to the other side
of the globe and compete against the best players in the world at
his age group. He has shown great maturity and professionalism and
we are delighted to offer him the pathway to Super League and have
rewarded him with squad number 26 for the forthcoming season."
Ludus leads the way up Bold Street
AS Christmas approaches fast a new venue is
due to open up its doors on Bold Street in Liverpool. Saturday
December 10th will see Ludus Lounge Bar open its doors for the first
time. This has seen the creation of a range of jobs for local
workers. Operations Director Luke Russell has overseen work on the
venue which is over 2 floors for just on 6 months now and he
describes it as a fusion of new and old. They have told us that:-
"We have aimed or upstairs area at day time shoppers, students,
local workers with a fantastic selection of sliders and finger food
to share. We have our own blend of coffee as well as beer and the
venue opens up onto the square off Bold St facing FACT. Downstairs
is a step back in time with a prohibition theme to it and the
1920’s. A real speakeasy vibe with exposed walls and old oxblood
leather seating. A very intimate Chicago feel to Liverpool’s most
cosmopolitan street." Different indeed with a fusion of new
upstairs and old downstairs and with their own in house brand of
"Ludus" draft beer and coffee the brand can really begin
to take hold of the venue. For all those tech addicts the upstairs
also boasts one of the first Samsung SUR40 tablet tables in the
country. A real state of the art way for numerous users to use a
touch screen tablet at the same time, with users being able to slide
content across the table from one user to another. This really has
to be seen to be believed. James Cooney, General Manager from Ludus
Lounge Bar commented:- "We have filled around 20 positions,
from part-time to full-time in a range of posts. From kitchen to
front of house. In these harsh times it is good to have an offering
like this one for Food & Beverage professionals to come and work at
and we are focused on training our staff to the highest levels." |
