    ENGAGE SUPER LEAGUE
    Venue: Halliwell Jones Stadium Date: Monday 25 April Kick-off: 1500 BST
    Coverage: Updates on BBC Radio 5 Live & the BBC Sport website, highlights on the Super League Show.


    Super League leaders Warrington have lost scrum-half Richie Myler, who suffered a cheekbone fracture in Friday’s 60-0 victory at Salford.

    Centre Chris Bridge is also out, but Matt King is expected to make his first appearance since suffering a knee injury on the first day of the season.

    The Wolves come up against ex-player Martin Gleeson, who made a try-scoring debut in Friday’s Hull derby.

    But Sean Long is facing a six-week lay-off with a broken finger.

    Hull coach Richard Agar is set to reunite Sam Obst with Richard Horne at half-back in the luckless Long’s absence.

    New leaders Warrington will look to prolong their impressive winning streak over Hull, having beaten the Black and Whites in the last six meetings between the two sides.

    But, sparked by Gleeson’s arrival, Hull’s fourth win of the campaign has got them moving in the right direction – up to ninth in the table.


    Warrington coach Tony Smith:

    “Hull have had some tough fixtures so far and some injury issues at times.

    “But they are battling hard and have not been far off in some hard-fought games.”
