Adrian Lam has named a 26-man Leigh Leopards squad to take on Warrington Wolves on Saturday. Warrington’s Sam Burgess named his starting XIII for the clash against Leigh on Wednesday, with a near first choice line-up being named and it seems Lam has followed suit.
The head coach hasn’t named a starting side but he has named 10 new signings in his squad for the trip to the Halliwell Jones Stadium. David Armstrong and Tesi Niu are included alongside Isaac Liu and Alec Tuitavake, who the club are very excited about having added him to their front row line up over the off-season.
Ethan O’Neill is also included alongside Brad Martin, Andrew Badrock, AJ Towse, Ryan Brown and Will Brough. Of course there’s no Edwin Ipape as he continues to recover from injury, while Lam hasn’t named three other members of his top 13.
Darnell McIntosh and Josh Charnley both sit out, as does Robbie Mulhern with reasons unclear at this point. The clash, which will double up as a testimonial fixture for Toby King, will be Leigh’s first and only game of pre-season before the competitive stuff gets underway with a trip to Workington in the Challenge Cup next week.
As such, it will be the first time Leigh fans get to see the club’s new signings don leopard print and Lam will be keen for his side to put on an encouraging showing as they prepare themselves for the rigours of the season ahead.
Leigh Leopards’ squad to face Warrington Wolves: David Armstrong, Tesi Niu, Umyla Hanley, Gareth O’Brien, Lachlan Lam, Owen Trout, Frankie Halton, Jack Hughes, Isaac Liu, Aaron Pene, Alec Tuitavake, Matt Davis, Brad Dwyer, Keanan Brand, Louis Brogan, Ethan O’Neill, Andrew Badrock, Ben McNamara, Nathan Wilde, Bailey Hodgson, Kavan Rothwell, Jack Darbyshire, Brad Martin, AJ Towse, Ryan Brown, Will Brough.
