WARRINGTON WOLVES take on Leeds Rhinos this Thursday night at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, live on Sky Sports.
The fortunes of Warrington have slipped in recent games with defeats to Wigan Warriors and Castleford Tigers piling pressure on head coach Daryl Powell to perform.
Leeds, meanwhile, eased any pressure on their boss Rohan Smith with a convincing thrashing of Huddersfield Giants last time out.
Team news and injuries
Warrington will be without the banned James Harrison after he was slapped with a two-game suspension following a tackle on Castleford’s Nathan Massey. George Williams is out with a hamstring injury but fellow halfback Josh Drinkwater could return.
Leeds boss Rohan Smith will run late fitness checks on Cameron Smith after he picked up a knock last weekend but Justin Sangare is out. Good news for the Rhinos, though, as Nene MacDonald will return after completing his return to play protocol following concussion whilst Tom Holroyd is back in contention.
