Warrington v Leigh: 21-man squads, injury update and TV details

Warrington and Leigh have both announced their 21-man squads for Friday afternoon’s Round Two fixture at the Totally Wicked Stadium (KO 12:45pm).

The Wolves started their 2021 campaign in underwhelming fashion on Sunday, losing 21-12 to Castleford.

Leigh are also in pursuit of their first win, after going down 20-18 to Wigan on their return to Super League. The Centurions have the advantage of an extra two days’ preparation coming into this one, though,  having played on the Friday.

The game will be available to watch on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Arena, with coverage starting from 12:30pm.
