WARRINGTON Wolves’ American winger Taylor Welch could be in line for his Super League home debut after being named in Head Coach James Lowes’ 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants in Round 27 of engage Super League XIII at The
Halliwell Jones Stadium this Saturday September 6, Kick off 6.00pm.
Welch, the first American born Super League player, made his debut in the defeat at Castleford in place on Kevin Penny, who was left out of the squad.
The main injury doubts are Lee Briers (knee) and Paul Rauhihi (groin) and Lowes has got to decide on whether to bring back Penny or give Welch more experience in a “must win” game to secure 4th in the league and home adavantage in the play-offs.
Lowes admits it is a bit of a selection headache with Welch and Penny both “having lots to learn.”
The full squad is: 2.Chris Hicks 3.Martin Gleeson 4.Matt King 5.Kevin Penny 6.Lee Briers 7.Michael Monaghan 8.Adrian Morley © 9. Jon Clarke 10. Paul Rauhihi 12. Ben Westwood 15. Rob Parker 16.
