Wolves name squad for Souths clash

New signing Stefan Ratchford will partner Lee Briers at half-back for Warrington when they take on South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday.

The Wolves have been on a pre-season tour down under, and take on the Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval in a trial game, ahead of their Super League opener against Hull FC the following weekend.

Ratchford, a close season capture from Salford, is named at scrum half, with fellow new signing Trent Waterhouse named in the back-row.

Tony Smith has named his strongest possible squad, which includes 13 internationals.

Team: Riley, J Monaghan, Blythe, Atkins, R Williams, Briers, Ratchford, Morley, Monaghan, Carvell, Waterhouse, Westwood, Grix.

Subs: Bridge, Harrison, Higham, Wood, Cooper, Hill, McCarthy, Evans, O’Brien.
