WARRINGTON Wolves have suffered a huge setback going into tonight’s clash with Hull FC at the KC Stadium.

Goal kicker Chris Hicks, the scorer of 10 tries in the last four games, is absent with a groin injury, while fellow Australian back Matt King is absent with calf trouble.

Lee Briers and Adrian Morley are back in the line-up but Wolves’ three-quarter line has an unfamiliar look.

Chris Bridge is named at full back but is expected to be in the centre.

Richie Mathers is down to play on the wing but should figure at full back.

Simon Grix, named at centre, could be the one asked to do an emergency job on the wing, with Vinnie Anderson the other centre.

Either Briers or Bridge are expected to take on the goalkicking duties in the absence of Hicks.

Wolves: Chris Bridge; Richie Mathers, Simon Grix, Vinnie Anderson, Chris Riley; Lee Briers, Michael Monaghan; Adrian Morley Jon Clarke, Garreth Carvell, Louis Anderson, Ben Westwood, Ben Harrison. Subs: Mickey Higham, Paul Wood, Paul Rauhihi, Matty Blythe.
