England's Richie Myler is hoping to retain his starting place in Steve McNamara's squad for Sunday's Autumn Series final against France.

Looking forward

Warrington came within 90 minutes of securing a rare double in Super League last season, something Myler is keen to rectify in 2013. The Wolves put Leeds to the sword at Wembley in August only to fall at the final hurdle in the Grand Final to Old Trafford specialists Rhinos, who claimed a fifth Super League title in six seasons. "We're pretty pleased with last season with the way it went. We finished second and were in both finals, which was a big achievement for the club and a big achievement for the group of players. "We want to go one further again this year and get back to both finals and do a job again. We set our sights and standards pretty high and hopefully we can achieve what we did last year." Myler is one of a number of England players who is supporting Movember, a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health - specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer, although it is not a look he will be keeping long-term. "Movember is for a great cause. I think everyone in the public gets behind it. It's a great thing to do. It's easy to have a shave and leave moustache. You get some funny looks when you walk down the street, but I think everyone's embracing it. It's for a good cause. When asked if he would consider retaining the new look beyond November, he concluded: "I don't think the missus would let me do that. No. I'll be clean shaven after Movember." Gillette and England Rugby League are proud to support Movember. Gillette's 'Best a Mo Can get Barbers' on Newburgh Street in London is free for all Mo Bros throughout the month.
