Wigan Head Coach Adrian Lam names 19-man squad to face Salford Red Devils

Joe Burgess returns for selection since April 2018

Wigan travel to Salford on Sunday
Wigan Warriors Head Coach Adrian Lam has named his 19-man squad to face Salford Red Devils this Sunday (K.O. 3pm).
Last season Wigan comfortably beat Salford at the AJ Bell Stadium 12-40, but the Warriors will come up against a very different and difficult Salford challenge this time around.

Salford have started 2019 well, picking up three victories this campaign so far, this most eye catching being a 0-46 victory away to Catalans Dragons.

On facing Salford Head Coach Adrian Lam said earlier this week, “They had a fantastic win a few weeks ago over in Catalans and they have been playing really well. We’ve got to prepare to make sure that we are at our absolute best.

“We feel we have taken a step forward with our on-field attitude and the way that we’ve been training so I look forward to it.”

Injury news

After 11 months out with a knee injury (ACL), Joe Burgess returns for selection. Following a mouth injury sustained during the defeat to Huddersfield two weeks ago, Dom Manfredi also returns.

Sam Powell continues his recovery from a ankle injury picked up in the defeat to Huddersfield two weeks ago. He is expected to be side-lined for a further two weeks.

Liam Marshall remains on the road to recovery from a knee injury sustained in the defeat to Huddersfield.

Morgan Escare is unavailable for selection after pulling up in training earlier this week.

Prop-forward Taulima Tautai will serve the second of his three-match ban.

Can Powell stay out for longer while Shorrocks get's a good run, Powell is simply not good enough

[Southern Softy]

On form Sarginson should miss out which would give us Davies, Manfredi (why not try him in the centre?), Gildart, Burgess but that's not going to happen. I expect Budgie could use an extra week off but likely (and wrongly) Davies might miss out,
Anyone know why Ben Flower was missing last week? I'm delighted he's back.

[Southern Softy]

Agree about Shorrocks - that grubber kick for the try last week was gorgeous and if he's going to be 'one for the future' - let's give him a decent run.

I’d put money on Davies and Byrne that miss out,though I’d drop Navarette he’s been in a bad run of form for most of the season but we shall see

And yes young Shorrocks does deserve a bit of a run in the side

Agree about Shorrocks - that grubber kick for the try last week was gorgeous and if he's going to be 'one for the future' - let's give him a decent run.

He's 24 so he needs to do it now.

Not yet he’s not 19.10.95!
