Team for Widnes friendly : Thu Jan 09, 2025 2:45 pm  

Yeah, I know it's only a friendly and most of the team named won't be starting the regular SL season a few weeks later but I still really look forward to these games after a drought of a couple of months to see the progress of young players and see what new players may ( or may not) bring to the table. Looking forward to it!

Warrington Wolves starting 13 vs Widnes Vikings
Cai Taylor-Wray; Jake Thewlis, Zac Bardsley-Rowe, Arron Lindop, Alfie Johnson; Oli Leyland, Stefan Ratchford; Zane Musgrove, Ben Hartill, Max Wood, Nolan Tupaea, Dan Russell, Tom Whitehead.

Totally agree. A chance for all to impress. I am out of area so it would be good to see online or on radio.

Is Holroyd injured ?

It may indicate he's currently ahead of Russell and is an insurance option in case Fitzgibbon isn't ready - I'd expect him to play against Leigh.

Decent team that.

I think Holroyd could well be in the first choice 17 anyway. There is sometimes a back rower on the bench.

Hooker, two "middles", ANOther

They may have more than 4 subs in this sort of game.

Yeah it's more than likely an open bench for this one. I think Holroyd is brilliant and i hope he gets more game time this year, he's aggressive, passionate, puts 100% in, and will physically develop over time. Definately one of our new long term batch of the future, like our Golden era squad is emerging

Delighted to see Luke Thomas on the bench for this as well. Here’s hoping for any injury free season for him
