WARRINGTON Wolves’s half back Lee Briers has been recalled to the 19 man squad to face London Broncos at the Halliwell Jones this Sunday, kick off 3pm.
Wolves’ coach Tony Smith said earlier in the week that Briers had “paid the penalty” after being dropped for the opening day draw at Hull after failing to prepare properly for the game.
Joel Monaghan also returns to the squad after missing last week’s game with fluid on his knee. Mickey Higham is missing with an elbow injury and Bret Hidgson is recuperating from close season surgery.
Commenting on the visit of the Broncos on Sunday he said: “Both the opposition in the Broncos and the stadium we have here at Warrington are certainly different this season; one in terms of personnel, the other in terms of cosmetics. It’s going to make for a great fixture in the fact that we have a bit of an unknown quantity in terms of who we’re playing but also in terms of stadium atmosphere as I think we all know what to expect; it is going to go up a level or two which we are really excited about.”
