    From volunteer to paid employee ... again ... for Liam Messam

    From volunteer to paid employee ... again ... for Liam Messam


    The Chiefs' most capped played has joined the squad after season ending injuries to loose forwards Mitch Karpik, Kaylum Boshier and Simon Parker.

    Before being officially brought back into the side, the 37-year-old volunteered his time to be an extra body at training runs throughout the season.

    Assistant coach David Hill says Messam's presence is huge for the group.
