CondolencesWarrington Wolves are saddened by the news that Shannon Bradsaw lost her fight to a rare form of leukaemia called 'a plastic amnemia'.The Wolves first heard of Shannon's plight in May when her family organised a Blood Testing Clinic in Warrington. All the players, coaching staff and administration staff where touched by the appeal so much so that they were all tested to see whether they could possibly be a match. Unfortunately, none of those tested at the initial clinic where a match, but did go on the Bone Marrow register as potential donors.The club learnt that a match was found for Shannon last week, but she had taken a turn for the worse and was too ill to have the operation. The club would like to pass on their condolences to all who knew this brave little girl.

At the moment I think he will be out for at least three weeks while he undergoes intense physio to rectify the problem."On Sunday I will probably move Nick Fozzard to prop and start Jez (Guisset) at second row."
