Leigh Leopards host Warrington Wolves on Friday night with Wire in desperate need of a win to keep their play-off hopes alive.
A loss to Castleford ahead of the week off dented Warrington’s hopes to make the top six and they now face an uphill battle, starting with a trip to one of Super League’s form teams.
Leigh Leopards have been incredible since their loss to Leeds Rhinos with wins against both Wigan and Hull KR and they’ll look to keep the pressure on the Warriors as they bid for a top two place.
Both sides will be rested up with Wire desperately needing it given they had played every game to that point, having made and then agonisingly lost the Challenge Cup Final.
Adrian Lam and Sam Burgess have named their 21-man squads for Friday night’s meeting at the Leigh Sports Village.
