Hodgson missing for Warrington

Warrington will be without full back Brett Hodgson for Friday’s Super League clash with Leeds at Headingley.

Hodgson, 34, was forced off the field in the 23-10 win at Bradford last Saturday, and misses out with a back injury.

He joins Chris Bridge on the sidelines, after the centre was handed a one-match ban by the RFL disciplinary committee for an incident involved Bulls half-back Ben Jeffries.

The Wolves won both of their regular season meetings with the Rhinos last season, but were beaten 26-24 in the play-offs, resulting in Leeds reaching the Grand Final, which they won at Old Trafford.

Warrington 19-man squad v Leeds: Atkins, Blythe, Briers, Carvell, Cooper, Evans, Grix, Higham, Hill, McCarthy, J Monaghan, Morley, Myler, Ratchford, Riley, Waterhouse, Westwood, Williams, Wood.
