\n And in his pre-match comments to Sky Sports, head coach Sam Burgess confirmed his absence is related to internal discipline having missed a training session earlier this week.\n<\/p>\n
\n During the week, it was reported that the full-back was to be stood down for the Round 21 clash for disciplinary reasons.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Australian was named in The Wire’s 21-man squad for the game after these reports emerged but now, it has been confirmed he is missing from the final matchday 17.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s an internal discipline thing,” Burgess said when asked about Dufty’s absence.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Matt missed a session earlier in the week \u2013 it\u2019s happened with other players throughout the year so we\u2019ve stood him down and he\u2019ll miss a game.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I will say he\u2019s been great since \u2013 he\u2019s behaving himself and he\u2019s been in good spirits so we\u2019ll see him next week.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Stefan Ratchford has been named to start at full-back – usual understudy Cai Taylor-Wray was named in the 21-man squad but the game comes too soon for his return from a torn hamstring.\n<\/p>\n
\n Zack Gardner’s expected return to the centres in place of Connor Wrench, who misses out under concussion protocol, is the only other change to Warrington’s 17.\n<\/p>\n
