Team Captain Lee Briers does not require an x-ray after limping from the field in the Warrington Wolves friendly against Salford City Reds, winning 24-12. Lee suffered a bang to the ankle and will undergo rehabilitation over the next week.

Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.

A truly inclusive thread would bring in news and reports from the Wizards as well.

Oi you, behave! Back in your basket! (EDIT - not you Archie, obviously. I meant that bob-all Vegas.)

Top thread Browny, I like it.

Any news on Brent Grose anyone? Apparently he left the field on Sunday but a little mystery surrounds his exit. We are lacking in cover at centre if anything happens to him, Johnson, or that Gleeson fella.

No, of course Walterwire and milly (does she still knock around on TRL?) are more than welcome to post their news on this thread, as well as the other local Warrington sides.

Not heard anything official: on the forums I heard he's expected to play in away friendly versus Oldham this evening, kick-off 7.45pm. All Warrington supporters able to attend are urged to go along and support a struggling local club.

Warrington are expected to field a strong side.

Indeed, and Warrington is a good bandwagon to jump on. Welcome aboard.

Newsflash: my spanking new away shirt just arrived in my pigeon hole at work - and the shirt hasn't been officially released yet.

Very efficient as I only ordered it yesterday afternoon!

Oldham 42-6 Warrington.

Apparently we didn't put a strong side out after all, with only Pickersgill, Cooper, Penny and Riley from the first team squad playing. Nevertheless, pretty poor result for our u-21s.

Apparently black is the original Wire colour before the Northern Union was formed.

Its a cotton shirt and the best we've had for many years I reckon.
