TWO Warrington Wolves players are set to hit appearance milestones tonight.
If selected for the Challenge Cup quarter final clash with Catalans Dragons, Gareth Widdop would be making his 250th career appearance.
It would be his 20th game for The Wire in a career spent mostly in the NRL – the half-back made 126 appearances for St George Illawarra Dragons and played 71 times for Melbourne Storm.
Widdop’s figures also include 29 England caps and four run-outs for Great Britain.

Ben Currie is also on the verge of a significant mark as tonight would be the 200th game of his professional career.
The second rower has featured 186 times for Warrington since his debut in 2012 and has picked up six England caps.
Currie has also played three times on dual registration for Swinton Lions, three times for Ireland in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup and once for England Knights.
