THE hernia injury that Ryan Atkins has been carrying into games has finally got the better of him.

The dangerman at left centre will not feature again this year due to surgery.

Further changes are set to take place as Wolves look to clinch another two points towards Super League safety against Leigh Centurions at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Saturday, kick off 3pm.

Joe Westerman, Harvey Livett and Mike Cooper are all expected to be named in the 19-man squad tomorrow.

And Kurt Gidley, who made his comeback off the bench in an inspirational showing against London Broncos, is set to start at dummy half.

Brad Dwyer is gearing up to feature on the bench for when Gidley requires a breather and to add further impact at number nine.
