"\ufeffIt was very interesting, had probably three, four, five spars there, and one of the boys broke their arms, one of the boys cut their eyes and one of the boys got dropped so it was definitely an interesting sparring session," he told 2GB's Wide World of Sports Radio.<\/p>\n

"We got the work done and are really happy with what was done."<\/p>\n

The Kiwi representative \ufeffsaid he wants to finish off Wallace quickly and head straight to the casino.<\/p>\n

Asofa-Solomona was also asked about his Melbourne coach, Craig Bellamy, as reports continue to link him with a possible role in the NSW Blues Origin setup.<\/p>\n

Bellamy previously coached the state during Queensland's dynasty but the role is now vacant following Brad Fittler's departure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The forward gave his support to the coach but expressed a desire for him to stick with his current role at the Storm. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I'd back him to do anything but we want him at the Storm, whatever he chooses to do I back him 100 per cent," he said.<\/p>\n
