RICHIE Mathers makes his Warrington Wolves return debut in today’s Challenge Cup round five tie at Featherstone Rovers.
Mathers starts for the first time since making the move from Wigan last month, slotting in at full back.
As a result, Chris Riley moves to the left wing and Paul Johnson starts in the second row in place of Vinnie Anderson, whose wife had a baby this morning.
Louis Anderson returns after injury and Ben Westwood moves to prop in the continued absence of Adrian Morley.
