WARRINGTON Wolves boss Tony Smith has announced his 19 man squad to travel to the Provident Stadium, Odsal, on Sunday afternoon to take on fellow Super League side Bradford Bulls in the quarter final of the Tetley’s Challenge Cup.
Back-rower James Laithwaite picked up a foot injury in last week’s win
over Leeds and will miss up to the next six weeks but Simon Grix returns
to the fold. Skipper Ben Westwood misses out due to suspension.
The Wolves have had a good affiliation with the cup competition over recent years including in 2010 when their road to lifting the trophy at Wembley included a quarter final win over Bradford at Odsal, 26-22.
This season saw the two sides go head-to-head last month; the Bulls came out on top on this occasion so the Wolves will be looking to reverse fortunes come Sunday afternoon, kick-off 3.30pm.
