WARRINGTON Wolves' skipper Lee Briers is now in full swing of his pre-season preparations with 'no holds barred'.

The specialist who rebuilt the finger that Briers broke during the 2004 campaign has given him the all-clear.

And the news is also good for two other Wolves players who have had reconstructive surgery since the end of last season.

Paul Wood and Mark Gleeson, who have each had a shoulder re-built, are ahead of schedule in their recovery.

Head coach Paul Cullen reports that pre-season training is going well and that sessions have been 'intense and full-on'.
