THE Warrington Wolves team to face London Broncos this afternoon has a pretty patched-up nature about it.

The absences of George Williams and Lachlan Fitzgibbon had already been confirmed, but there is also no Danny Walker and Ben Currie in the Wire team bidding for a fourth straight win.

Head coach Sam Burgess had hinted several members of his squad were in doubt for the game due to β€œthings off the field."

It means Sam Powell comes in for his first start in a Warrington shirt having featured off the bench in the first four matches, while Joe Philbin starts in the second row in the absence of both Fitzgibbon and Currie, with Matty Nicholson named as 18th man following a groin injury that has stopped him from featuring this year.

Jordy Crowther comes back into the starting line-up at loose forward, with Joe Bullock among the interchanges having returned from a two-game loan spell at Hull FC.

Young forwards Max Wood and Tom Whitehead complete the bench alongside Zane Musgrove, with Stefan Ratchford partnering Leon Hayes in the halves in the absence of both Williams (ankle) and Josh Drinkwater (knee).

Fitzgibbon is back in Australia due to a family bereavement, meaning his misses a game for the first time this season.
