THE TEAM NEWS
WARRINGTON WOLVES
- Warrington Wolves produced their best performance of the season as they fought back from 8-0 down against Catalans Dragons to record a comfortable success and make it three league games without defeat.
- The Wolves scored 24 unanswered points as they produced a solid display on both sides of the ball but particularly defensively and they are now boosted by the inclusion of Greg Inglis who will make his long-awaited debut for Wire.
21-man squad: Akauola, Ashton, Austin, Butler, Charnley, D. Clark, J. Clark, Cooper, Currie, Davis, Hill, Hughes, Inglis, King, Mamo, Mulhern, Philbin, Ratchford, Thewlis, Walker, Widdop
Unavailable: Tom Lineham
Questionable:
HULL KR
- Hull KR made it back-to-back wins as they proved to be far too good for a poor Leeds Rhinos outfit last week and the Robins will believe that they can record a third straight success despite facing a tough trip to Warrington.
- Rovers have improved week-on-week with their win over the Rhinos their best display of the season and Tony Smith should be able to name a stronger team on the back of that with Ben Crooks, Greg Minikin and Korbin Sims all back in contention.
21-man squad: Abdull, Crooks, Dagger, Hadley, Hall, Johnson, Keinhorst, Kenny-Dowall, King, Lawler, Linnett, Litten, Milnes, Minikin, Mustapha, Parcell, Quinlan, Ryan, Sims, Storton, Takairangi
Unavailable: Will Maher, Elliot Minchella, Mikey Lewis, Albert Vete
Questionable: Korbin Sims, Ben Crooks, Greg Minikin
THE PREDICTION
All eyes will be on the debut of Greg Inglis as the Australian superstar begins life in the Super League. Inglis’ much-heralded move was a huge talking point during the off-season but he has had to get himself match-fit before making his first appearance for Warrington Wolves. On the back of their best display of the year, Wire will hope the inclusion of Inglis can further boost their chances of making it back-to-back wins but Hull KR will have something to say about that. The away side have won their last two and were dominant against Leeds Rhinos last week but they look set to fall short here with Wire in confident mood after an impressive win in the south of France against Catalans Dragons.
