Adrian Lam names 19-man squad to face Catalans Dragons on Sunday

Clubb misses out to injury, Greenwood serves one-match suspension

Youngster Morgan Smithies included for the first time

Wigan Warriors Head Coach Adrian Lam has named his 19-man squad to face Catalans Dragons this Sunday at the DW Stadium in the Betfred Super League (K.O.3pm).

Last time the French side visited the DW Wigan picked up the two points, winning 25-20 in the final round of the regular season in 2018.

Among the travelling squad will be ex-Wiganer Sam Tomkins who, after winning the 2018 Grand Final last October, made the move to the South of France.

On facing Tomkins, Lam said earlier this week, “He’s a legend in this town and at this Club. He’s done some amazing things here and is respected very highly.

“He’s coming in different colours this time around so we will make him welcome with open arms and then do our part to make him feel like he’s part of the enemy.”

Injury News

Prop-forward Tony Clubb left the field injured last week with a knee injury and is expected to be out for 1-2 weeks.

Sam Powell continues his recovery from an ankle injury and is also suspected to return in 1-2 weeks.

Winger Liam Marshall remains out with a knee injury sustained in the defeat to Huddersfield 3 weeks ago.

Gab Hamlin is unavailable for selection due to illness.

Joe Greenwood will serve a one-match ban this week, while Taulima Tautai serves the third of his three-match ban this week.

Wigan 19-man squad to face Catalans Dragons:

Joe Bullock, Joe Burgess, Liam Byrne, Tom Davies, Ben Flower, Oliver Gildart, Zak Hardaker, Willie Isa, Tommy Leuluai, Dom Manfredi, Romain Navarrete, Sean O’Loughlin, Liam Paisley, Oliver Partington, Jarrod Sammut, Dan Sarginson, Jake Shorrocks, Morgan Smithies, George Williams.

I text him the other day & he said everything was okay. Then yesterday he sent me a “shit rumours” text!

Worried to see Hamlin missing bearing in mind that we were light in the pack with Greenwood's ban anyway. I really hope we can show more improvement from last time because we need this win badly. Sam and co will be very fired up for this one despite their poor record at the DW. Their pack will be able to bully us if we're not ready for them. If we lose on Sunday I'm looking at the next three games thinking we could be 2 from 11 by the evening of Good Friday. Now that really would be pressure.

P.S. Watched the Canberra game this morning. Bateman was great and the commentator mentioned that Williams has signed for next season!

What's the odds Smith kicks drop to win or golden point

[ancientnloyal]

Can you score an “own golden point”?? Drop kick over your own sticks?

Thought Matty played for Cats or am I wrong?
