Widnes hooker Jon Clarke will forget his close friendships with his former Warrington team-mates when he faces his old club for the first time at Magic Weekend on Saturday May 26 (4pm).
The Vikings' 2012 recruit missed out on the previous Stobart Super League fixture against the 2010 Carnegie Challenge Cup holders through injury and now relishes the Magic Weekend challenge at Etihad Stadium, Manchester, against his former club.
"I think it will be a strange experience," said Clarke. "I spent 10 years with Warrington before moving to Widnes, so my first match against my old mates will be unusual. But as soon as that whistle is blown they are not my mates for 80 minutes.
"I still live in Warrington and my neighbours are Ben Westwood and Garreth Carvell so it will be weird to play against them, but I am looking forward to facing my old team.
"I will be able to give my new team-mates some tips on individual players and style of play to help us to perform against them. Warrington are a team full of internationals and have had some good results this season so we will have a tough challenge on Saturday."
Although Clarke is a Magic Weekend veteran, this will be the first appearance for Widnes Vikings in the seven-game extravaganza, and Clarke hopes the Widnes fans travel in droves to Manchester's Etihad Stadium.
"I think the Magic Weekend is a great idea," said the hooker. "My only concern in past events has been the distance that fans had to travel, but bringing it to Manchester where it is hugely accessible is fantastic.
"It is an impressive stadium and I think this year will be the best Magic Weekend yet.
"It is the first time Widnes have been involved in a Magic Weekend, which is exciting for the club and everyone involved. I am sure the Widnes fans will turn out in force to support the team and enjoy a great weekend of Rugby League."

Former Warrington Wolves hooker Jon Clarke will lead Widnes Vikings on their return to Super League in 2012, the club announced today.
The 32-year-old Clarke, one of the Vikings' 14 new signings, has been chosen by head coach Denis Betts as the club's new captain.
"There were a number of candidates who could have done the job and I've taken my time to come to a decision," Betts said.
"The reason we brought Jon into the organisation was for his experience and his leadership skills and both have shone through already in pre-season.
"Without taking anything away from the qualities that make him such a good person and player, I have every confidence the role will be a great progression for him."
Clarke, who has also played for Wigan Warriors and London Broncos, said: "It's a great honour to be chosen as captain of a club which has such a wealth of history behind it and I feel privileged to follow on from some of the big names that have captained this club in the past.
"It's a position I will take extremely seriously and I'll give absolutely everything I've got to the role."
Betts has named another new signing, former Wigan and Hull KR full-back Shaun Briscoe, as the club's vice-captain.
