WARRINGTON Wolves’ boss Tony Smith has named his 19 man squad for Friday’s derby with Widnes on the back of nine straight league wins; the latest being Sunday’s 72-12 victory over London Broncos.
Warrington currently occupy fourth spot in the table, snapping at the heels of the top three in St Helens, Leeds and Wigan.
The Vikings, however, are sitting in eighth with only one win in their last nine league outings.
The Wolves won the home encounter back in April so the desire to do the derby double and avenge last season’s double, will be there come Friday night.
Smith has again gone for a blend of experience and youth. Ryan Atkins (pictured above) returns after missing Sunday’s win over London but Joel Monaghan is rested.
