Fitness test for Briers ahead of Bradford clash

The former captain Lee Briers faces a late fitness test as he pushes to return for Warrington's engage Super League clash at Bradford on Friday. The stand-off missed the defeats to Salford and Castleford over the weekend with a leg injury and is one of a number of players to be checked before the trip to the Grattan Stadium. Chris Riley and Vinnie Anderson are also hoping to shake off knocks after being named in the 19-man squad while Paul Rauhihi could be a late addition if he overcomes a calf problem.

Despite back-to-back defeats last weekend the club insist no player will be risked unnecessarily. Wolves assistant coach James Lowes said: "We'll give them all late tests but you can't go to Odsal if you are not 80-plus per cent fit. If you are below that there is no point going. They'll take advantage of that. "They are a very good side and it is a very intimidating place to play." Meanwhile, Hull KR coach Justin Morgan has been charged with misconduct over his comments about referee Ben Thaler. Morgan was angered by Thaler's "substandard" performance in the Super League defeat by Huddersfield on Monday and said he did not want the official to referee his side's games again.

Morgan claimed Huddersfield were allowed to get away with "blue murder" and said Thaler needs to return to a lower grade and "spend some time learning the rules". Morgan will now face a hearing on April 22. * PA Sport
