HE was once on Manchester City's books and is probably Super League's smallest player - but Leon Hayes is certainly packing a punch.
He's loving life directing hometown Warrington around the park - having taken inspiration from fellow diminutive scrum-half Rob Burrow.

Still only 20 years old, he's started the last eight games - his longest stint yet ahead of today's visit from Challenge Cup holders Leigh.
And Hayes, who featured in Sunday's epic 31-8 Challenge Cup quarter-final win at derby rivals St Helens, has helped fire high-flying Warrington's charge on both fronts.
Leeds legend Burrow (below), of course, tore Super League sides to shreds at just five foot five inches.
