Warrington and Salford have both announced strong squads for their pre-season fixture tomorrow (Thursday 23rd January, 7:45pm)
The Wolves, celebrating Mike Cooper’s Testimonial, have named a side that’ll be without their recently announced co-captains, Chris Hill and Jack Hughes, who have been rested, and new signing Leilani Latu, who was announced yesterday on a 2-year deal from Gold Coast Titans.
Salford, however, have named a 27-man squad, giving an opportunity for some players to receive crucial game-time against the reigning Challenge Cup holders. There are just two changes to their squad that defeated Leigh 40-14, with captain Lee Mossop and academy star Connor Aspey coming into the mix.
