WARRINGTON Wolves will have two new faces in their 19 man squad for the trip to the KC Lightstream Stadium on Friday night for the second time this season.
Tony Smith’s squad includes George King and Joe Philbin who make their first appearance in the squad since joining the first-team training squad.
Back-rower Philbin scored four tries in the under 19s win over Hull KR recently and has been training with the first team squad. Young prop King has also impressed.
Meanwhile Richie Myler and Michael Monaghan (pictured right) miss the game through injury. Monagahn will be out for at least a month with a calf tear while Myler is awaiting the results of scans on an ankle injury.
The Wolves won away to Hull KR in the Tetley’s Challenge Cup fourth round back in April but lost at home the following week in the First Utility Super League.
Rovers are sitting just outside the top eight in ninth position, up against the Wolves in fifth.
Wolves go into this off the back of a win in the cup last weekend, this week’s opposition had a week away from fixtures with their last run-out a fortnight ago with a loss to Castleford.
