SAM Burgess has followed through on his promise to name an unchanged Warrington Wolves starting side to face Leigh Leopards.
The Wire head coach confirmed his intention to field the same 13 that started Sundayโs Challenge Cup quarter-final victory at St Helens and as such, that is the team named for the return to Super League action.
That means prop Paul Vaughanโs return from a two-match suspension will come from the interchange bench, where the two changes to the 17 are found.
Vaughan is joined on the bench by club captain Stefan Ratchford, with Max Wood and Adam Holroyd dropping out.
Wood started at prop for the reserves in their game against Leigh at Victoria Park this morning while Holroyd is Wireโs 18th man.

Leigh's confirmed 17 contains six former Wire players including Brad Dwyer, who joined the Leopards permanently from Warrington last week and is among the substitutes.
They are boosted by Robbie Mulhern being fit to start having been an injury doubt while Josh Charnley, Matt Davis, Jack Hughes and Ollie Holmes also face their old employers.
