Could be due to either a niggle or illness. No point in risking anyone who is anything less than 100%.

12 first teamers and a reserve in the starting 13. Pretty strong line up. Looking forward to it.

Should be a great game , 2strong squads ,hopefully Leigh can give Warry a good game to show we are good enough to stay in SL

Given that Powell has said the team have been ready for 2 weeks this should give an indication of where we are up to. For better or worse.

Yes, it's a game that can make us enthusiastic for the season ahead...or the opposite. I remember how I was looking forward to the Stef Ratchford testimonial against Wigan last year, but when we lost 14-6, it felt depressing. Not so much losing, but only scoring 6, when I had been hoping that DP would turn us into an exciting attacking side. A lot of water under the bridge since then, but here I am again, with optimism and dread finely balanced!

It's the optimism that kills you.

I am going to the game in the hope I see a revitalised Wire team unrecognisable from that of the 2022 annus horribilis.

Be interesting to see if the ex-Warrington players can be enthused and performant in a way they never seemed to be for us.

Looks a really solid team to me. Hoping to see plenty of go-forward from a huge and experienced pack.

Walker in the starting line up is interesting. Doesn't happen very often
