WARRINGTON Wolves and Leigh Leopards will bring the curtain down on their respective pre-seasons against each other this evening.

For the third year in a row, the two neighbours will meet in a Testimonial match at The Halliwell Jones Stadium - the Leopards won 28-12 in Joe Philbin's Testimonial this time last year while The Wire emerged victorious 22-10 in a match to honour Ben Currie in 2023.

This year, the match will be dedicated to long-serving Warrington centre Toby King, who is celebrating a decade as a first-team player having made his senior bow back in 2014.

Warrington Wolves team news for Toby King Testimonial

For at least the first 40 minutes of the game, Wire head coach Sam Burgess will give his strongest available side a run-out.

Burgess has named the likes of George Williams, Matt Dufty and Paul Vaughan among others in his starting side, with the bench featuring Joe Philbin, Zane Musgrove and many of the youngsters who featured in the friendly loss to Widnes Vikings a fortnight ago.

There are injury absentees with half-back Leon Hayes (hamstring), prop James Harrison (back), winger Josh Thewlis, hooker Sam Powell and second-rower Lachlan Fitzgibbon (all shoulder) sitting out, with Stefan Ratchford and Arron Lindop also not named in the squad.

The injuries mean new signings for 2025 Dan Russell, Oli Leyland and Alfie Johnson will all start - Russell in the back-row, Johnson on the wing and Leyland alongside Williams in the halves.

Leigh are likely to give new additions David Armstrong, Tesi Niu, Isaac Liu and Alec Tuitavake a run-out.
