SAM Burgess' plans to name an unchanged Warrington Wolves 17 for Round Three have been scuppered by a late injury.
The Wire's confirmed team to take on Castleford Tigers does not include young centre Connor Wrench, who is understood to have picked up a groin injury in training.
Club captain Stefan Ratchford comes into the side for his first appearance of the season and will slot into Wrench's right centre role.
The remainder of the side is unchanged from the one that beat Hull FC last week with youngsters Leon Hayes, Adam Holroyd and Max Wood keeping their spots.

A special night for Walker
Danny Walker starts in what will be his 100th game for his hometown club.
He starts alongside Paul Vaughan and James Harrison in the front row, with Ben Currie once again operating at loose forward.
Here is the Wire team in full for tonight’s game
Castleford were already about key players such as Paul McShane and Liam Watts through injury and suspension respectively but the team that started last week's defeat at Salford is now minus half-back Danny Richardson and winger Jason Qareqare through injury.
Rowan Milnes and Josh Simm replace them in Craig Lingard's line-up
