As the Wire boss reported at his pre-match press conference yesterday, full-back Matt Dufty is his only fresh injury concern - the Australian fractured his eye socket at Wembley and will miss at least the next two games as he awaits surgery.
His place in the 21 is taken by forward Tom Whitehead, with Stefan Ratchford set to take Dufty's place at full-back in a starting side that looks set to be similar to the one that was agonisingly beaten in the cup final.
Warrington Wolves 21-man squad vs Leeds Rhinos, Super League Round 14
Jordy Crowther, Ben Currie, Lachlan Fitzgibbon, James Harrison, Adam Holroyd, Toby King, Arron Lindop, Joe Philbin, Sam Powell, Stefan Ratchford, Dan Russell, Marc Sneyd, Rodrick Tai, Jake Thewlis, Josh Thewlis, Paul Vaughan, Tom Whitehead, George Williams, Max Wood, Connor Wrench, Luke Yates
Leeds Rhinos welcome back key man for Warrington Wolves clash

The former Salford man has been absent for three months due to a torn hamstring but has been named in head coach Brad Arthur's squad for the game.
Forward Kallum Watkins - a former Latchford Albion junior - would be making his 400th career appearance if selected.

Scott's 'old-man par golf' has him in the hunt at US Open
Former Masters champion Adam Scott of Australia fired back-to-back rounds of 70 to stand fourth on level par 140 after 36 holes at the US Open at Oakmont (Warren Little) Adam Scott finds himself sharing fourth at the US Open playing "old-man-par golf," and the 44-year-old Australian says he just might be playing well enough to capture another major title. Scott, playing in his 96th consecutive major tournament, has fired back-to-back 70s in the first two rounds at Oakmont to stand on 140, three strokes behind leader Sam Burns and the only player at par or better with a major title. Advertisement "I feel like this is what I've been working towards," Scott said. "I was kind of in the mix late at the PGA, and now putting myself in this one for the weekend -- it's a long way to go, but I feel like my game is in good enough shape to do this." World number 42 Scott became the first Aussie to win the Masters in 2013, beating Angel Cabrera in a playoff. The most recent of his 14 career PGA Tour titles was in 2020 at Riviera, although he was runner-up last year at the Scottish Open and BMW Championship. "Of course I'd like to win lots more tournaments, any of them, to be perfectly honest. I'd like to win something," Scott said. Advertisement "I've put together a nice career, but I think another major more would really go a long way in fulfilling my own self, when it's all said and done. "This is all I'm really playing for are these big events. There's probably eight of them off the top of my mind a year that I really want to win." Asked how he would describe his career window to win a US Open, Scott said, "Ajar." Scott, whose major streak began with the 2001 British Open, has the second-longest run of major appearances after the record 146 by Jack Nicklaus 1962-1998. Scott admitted that his consistency at playing in majors might go underappreciated. Advertisement "Maybe it does," he said. "But I'd be pretty proud of winning this thing on the weekend. That's really what I'm here to do." Scott said he has quietly been building confidence. "There has probably not been many signs to anyone else but me the last month or six weeks that my game is looking better, but I definitely feel more confident than I have been this year," Scott said. "For most of the first two days, I've been in the fairway off the tee, and therefore hasn't been too much stress in the rounds." While handfuls of contenders have charged only to fall by the wayside, Scott's old-man golf is keeping him in the hunt. Advertisement "It's just hard out there," Scott said. "It's hard to keep it going when guys have got on a run. It seems like they've come back a bit." Heavy rain drenched the course on Friday night, likely making the firm and fast greens more receptive come the weekend. "The rain might keep it under control, hopefully, and spare us some frustrations," he said. js/bb

Boutier, Ciganda among four-way tie for lead at Meijer LPGA Classic
Celine Boutier of France is part of a four-way tie for the lead after two rounds of the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan (Raj Mehta) Celine Boutier had seven birdies and three bogeys in a rollercoaster four-under-par 68 on Friday to join Carlota Ciganda, Choi Hye-jin and Karis Davidson atop the leaderboard midway through the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan. France's Boutier coped admirably with the breezy conditions at Blythefield Country Club to put herself in position to challenge for a seventh LPGA title and a first since she claimed three in 2023. Advertisement Ciganda and Choi both shot five-under-par 67s to join her on eight-under 136 while Davidson had two birdies in her last three holes in a two-under 70. "Very satisfied with my round," Boutier said. "I feel like I made a lot of birdies, a few bogeys as well but I was able to handle the wind quite well today and was able to make a few putts, which really helped me out." Boutier, 31, teed off on 10 and birdied the 12th and 14th, then followed a bogey at 15 with birdies at 16 and 18. She gave a stroke back at the first, birdied the third and fifth and after a bogey at the seventh birdied the eighth to seize her share of the lead. Advertisement "I definitely feel like today you had to take into account the wind a little bit more," Boutier said. "Even putting and stuff, sometimes you have to back out a little bit because it was kind of gusty." Ciganda had seven birdies and two bogeys in a five-under round she called "very solid". "Stayed patient out there," Ciganda, a two-time LPGA winner, said. "The back nine I hit good shots and made really good putts coming in," added the Spaniard, who needed 28 putts for the round. Choi Hye-jin, who is seeking her first LPGA title, had six birdies and a bogey, seizing her share of the lead with birdies at the 16th and 18th. Advertisement The leading trio had a one-shot lead over a group of six players on a congested leaderboard. Denmark's Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Americans Lexi Thompson and Amanda Doherty, England's Bronte Law, Australian Minjee Lee and Paraguay's Sofia Garcia were all tied on 137. Australian Grace Kim, who started the day one shot off the lead, was tied atop the leaderboard at eight-under before two late bogeys and finished the day among another a half-dozen players sharing 11th on 138 -- just two shots off the lead. Overnight leader Lee Mi-hyang of South Korea carded a three-over 75 and was in a group of eight players on 139. bb/rcw
