Marc Sneyd included as Wire and Leigh confirm semi-final 21 man squads
And just 17 days after fracturing his eye socket in the Super League home win against St Helens, The Wire scrum-half Marc Sneyd could line-up to help steer his side to Wembley.
Head coach Sam Burgess has included the 34-year-old in his 21-man squad, along with Stefan Ratchford and Oli Leyland as other half-back options.
Burgess had told Warrington Guardian prior to last weekend's Magic match against Wigan in Newcastle that Sneyd had undergone successful surgery and that he would be assessed 'week-to-week' regarding his return to the side.
And skipper George Williams, currently sidelined as he recovers from surgery to fix ruptured ankle ligaments, said earlier this week on Sky Sports' The Bench podcast:
'I think Sneydy is going to play pretty soon. He's a lot tougher than I thought,' he said.
'I didn't have him down as a tough player but he's going to play pretty quickly and will be a massive part of us going forward."
Matty Ashton and Toby King, who both missed last weekend's match, are also included.

Meanwhile, Adrian Lam looks set to have the majority of his big-name players available to him for selection.
His 21-man squad, however, does not include back rower Frankie Halton and former Melbourne Storm prop Arron Pene.
Halton was a try scorer for Leigh when they defeated The Wire 18-14 at Leigh Sports Village over Easter.

KEY STATS: Errors and ill-discipline rife but a case for the defence
Ben Currie topped Wire's tackle count with a 100 per cent completion rate and also impressed with the ball (Image: Neil Ashurst/P&B Pictures) ULTIMATELY, the most important stat from Friday's trip to Salford came out in Warrington Wolves' favour. However, there were a few more that will both please and concern Sam Burgess in equal measure. On the whole, The Wire's performance was a scratchy and laboured one as they struggled against a Red Devils side whose own display was not one of a side that had conceded an average of 40 points per game before this. Advertisement Eventually, they got the job done, but they made life hard for themselves. Here's a look at some key things we noticed from the match stats… Errors and discipline hamper Wire An area that has been pleasing on the whole for Warrington this year is their discipline. They went into Round 17 as Super League's least-penalised team, but there was a concerning fall-off on this occasion. The seven penalties they conceded - including one, criminally, for dissent - was their highest total of the season to date and it was only a late collapse in discipline from the hosts that saw them finish on the right side of the penalty count (10-7). Advertisement Their ill-discipline allowed Chris Hankinson to keep Salford in touch even though they scored only one try to Wire's four, with the centre booting over four penalties either side of half time. That sole Salford try from Ethan Ryan came courtesy of a Wire error, with Josh Thewlis spilling the ball in contact to allow the hosts to recycle for the winger to burst through a stretched and scrambling defence. Burgess' men made 12 errors in all – nine of which came before half time – and combined with their ill-discipline, it meant any attempts to build pressure until the final stages were negated. Wire's ill-discipline allowed Chris Hankinson to keep Salford in touch by kicking four penalties (Image: Paul Currie/ Advertisement Middle unit's impressive defensive numbers Warrington's middle unit is often criticised for its lack of size, but one area in which they excel is in defence. This was in perfect evidence on Friday night where the seven players who turned out there at different stages put up some impressive off-the-ball numbers. Four players finished the game with a 100 per cent tackle completion rate – Ben Currie led the way with 43 in another sterling display at loose forward which also saw him average nine metres per carry and come up with an excellent assist for James Harrison's try. Luke Yates (30), Jordy Crowther (28) and Harrison himself (22) all went through the game without missing a single tackle while Paul Vaughan (24), Joe Philbin (23) and Stefan Ratchford (15) all missed two each. Advertisement Overall, that leads to a tackle efficiency rate of just under 97 per cent and with the ball too, they appeared to have more punch. In total, Warrington's middles totalled 430m with ball in hand from a combined 60 carries – bringing an average of 7.16m each – and broke 16 tackles, seven of which came courtesy of Vaughan. From one less carry, Salford's big men mustered 278m between them – 4.71m per carry average – and broke through eight tackles. In the outside-backs too, Wire held an edge and made on average two metres more per carry than their counterparts. Wire's back five made 540m from 56 carries (9.64m average) led by Matt Dufty's 169m, while they broke 16 tackles and made six clean breaks between them. Advertisement Salford's made six more carries but less metres at 462 (7.45m each) with 15 tackle busts and a single clean break. Centre Esan Marsters (150m, six tackle breaks) led the way for them.

NRL world reacts as Toby Sexton signs $1m deal to replace retiring premiership hero
Toby Sexton has agreed to a deal with Catalans Dragons in the English Super League for 2026, and will replace Roosters and Rabbitohs premiership hero Luke Keary. Catalans confirmed on Thursday night that Sexton will be a Dragon next season after the Bulldogs' signing of Lachie Galvin effectively forced him out. Sexton has been fantastic as the Bulldogs' starting halfback in 2025, leading the Canterbury club to second on the NRL ladder after 17 rounds. However he was without a contract past this season, and the signing of Galvin from the Wests Tigers has forced him out. Sexton has switched from halfback to hooker during games in recent weeks when Galvin has been brought onto the field - a move that backfired in their recent loss to Penrith. The Dogs clearly see Galvin as the future No.7, meaning there's no room for Sexton. The 24-year-old has now signed a two-year deal with Catalans worth $500,000 per season. He reportedly had interest from a rival Sydney NRL club, but has opted to head to France instead. Speaking on 100% Footy on Monday night, Bulldogs general manager Phil Gould insisted Sexton hadn't been tapped on the shoulder to leave. 'Toby's doing a great job,' Gould said. "We'll get through this season, then we'll see where Toby is, what his options are, and what he wants to do. 'We haven't dismissed the fact Toby Sexton will be with us next year. We haven't dismissed that at all. What we're going to do is just let him get through this season.' Upon hearing the news of Sexton's move overseas, the general consensus from NRL fans is the halfback is too good to be playing in the Super League. With Perth and PNG coming into the NRL in 2027 and 2028 respectively, the door might be ajar for a quick return to Australia. I find it remarkable that not a single NRL club will take on Toby Sexton….Seriously?! — Jason Finlow (@JasonFinlow) July 3, 2025 Far too good a player in a league starved of quality 7s. He'll be back in no time. Honestly surprised a team like Canberra didnt make a play — Brian de Groot (@BriandeGroot7) July 3, 2025 Great signing for Catalans! At the age of 24 I think Toby Sexton has his best year's ahead of him. Excited to see him in Super League! — Alex Lambe 🏉 (@RugbyLambo) July 3, 2025 Toby Sexton lead the Dogs to top of the table prior to Origin Two Hes not headed to the super league Legit would not believe it if I hadn't just seen it — Blank (@suthodan) July 3, 2025 Poor sexton he's been going well in the nrl I would of liked to see him at tigers — Luke Wilkinson (@LukeWil778358) July 3, 2025 Sexton's move to Catalans will see him replace the retiring Keary. The Roosters and Rabbitohs premiership player had initially planned to spend two years playing in the Super League to finish his career, but has reportedly had a change of heart. The 33-year-old is set to wrap up his career at the end of this season, hanging up the boots one year earlier than planned. Keary initially announced he was retiring at the end of the 2024 season with the Roosters, before he was convinced to sign a two-year deal with Catalans. He recently made controversial comments about the quality of the Super League, which saw him cop a fine. He's now reportedly had enough and doesn't want to put his body through another season of top-flight footy. RELATED: Mal Meninga snares key figure from Titans to join Perth Bears Calls for NRL rule change after Wayne Bennett hit with brutal ban Keary won a premiership with Souths in 2014, before a high-profile switch to the Roosters that saw him win another two titles in 2018 and 2019. When asked on SEN radio on Thursday whether Keary would consider one more year in the NRL, journalist Michael Carayannis said it's unlikely. "I don't think he has got the motivation. That is my understanding of it all," Carayannis said. "I think his family is really enjoying life in France and I think if he had that desire to play on, he would fulfil that second season. It wouldn't stop a club from asking the question, but I think his time in the NRL is all-but done."

ACC's legal settlement with FSU, Clemson reveals ‘super league' escape clause
What happens if enough ACC football programs want to join a super league? That hypothetical — however realistic or unrealistic it may be — is addressed in the settlement agreement that ended the conference's dueling, 17-month litigation with Florida State and Clemson. The 68-page agreement, obtained by The Athletic on Thursday following public-records requests to both schools, also formalizes the conference's withdrawal fees and sheds more insight into how the league will distribute money based on TV viewership. Here's what we learned: Before the settlement, the answer was in dispute and at the heart of the nine-figure litigation between the ACC and two of its premier programs. Florida State had estimated that the cost could exceed $500 million. Under the settlement, the cost to leave in the 2025-26 fiscal year is $165 million and drops by $18 million annually. The figure stays at $75 million from 2030-31 through 2036 (the final year of the contract). Those terms are the same as the ones presented in March when trustees at Clemson and Florida State approved the settlement's framework. Every ACC school and the league signed the agreement in May, and FSU, Clemson and the conference formally dismissed their lawsuits last month. Advertisement Crucially, departing schools keep their future TV rights. If those rights had remained with the ACC, Clemson or Florida State would have added significantly less value to a new conference, such as the SEC or Big Ten. Because TV contracts for the Big Ten, SEC and College Football Playoff are set to expire between 2030 and 2034, the industry is bracing for the next seismic wave of realignment around then. The agreement clarifies the ACC's and its schools' stance before the league's ESPN contract expires in 2036. The ACC's exit deadline also changed. Schools must file a notice to withdraw by June 1 to leave the league 13 months later at the end of the next June. The previous date was Aug. 15. The notable change is with revenue from the league's multimedia contracts. The first 40 percent of that money from sources will be split evenly among the schools. Of the remaining 60 percent, three-quarters will be distributed based on football TV viewership, and one-quarter will be based on men's basketball viewership. Other details were redacted and claimed as trade secrets. The ACC is the first conference to use TV figures as a metric for conference payouts. Clemson estimated that the new model could yield an additional $120 million over a six-year period. That'd be enough to make the Tigers financially competitive with top programs in the SEC or Big Ten. The ACC doesn't expect the change to cause its other programs to lose ground compared to peers in the Big 12. The conference also weighs other payouts based on a team's performance on the football field or basketball court through a success initiative. The agreement specifies that Notre Dame, an ACC member but football independent, is not eligible for the football viewership distribution unless it joins the conference in that sport. Advertisement Clemson and Florida State must both approve of any future changes to the ACC's financial payouts. Officially called an 'option of limited withdrawal,' it's the juiciest part of the agreement and new information, regardless of whether it's feasible. Suppose at least six members want to leave the same sport to join a 'single sport league, conference or other association' alongside other schools. In that case, they'll owe $75 million or 50 percent of the current withdrawal figure (whichever is greater). In practice, that would allow, say, Florida State, Clemson, Miami, North Carolina and a few other top programs to leave for a super league in football while remaining ACC members in basketball, baseball and every other sport. Super league scenarios have been pitched and discussed for months, and the logistics could prove difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. However, the agreement provides a framework for schools to join one. (Photo of Clemson coach Dabo Swinney: Grant Halverson / Getty Images)
