Wigan Warriors vs Hull FC, Thursday 19th November, DW Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm.

Head coach Adrian Lam has named the 21-man squad to face Hull FC in the Betfred Super League Semi Final this Thursday (K.O. 7:45pm).

Lam’s men will host the Black and Whites at the DW Stadium in the battle for a place in the 2020 Grand Final.

Skipper Sean O’Loughlin returns to the 21, having last played against Warrington in early October. He’s joined by young hooker Amir Bourouh.

Given the lack of news on Powell, I presume it is COVID related, for which I wish him a safe speedy recovery, but in his absence do we presume Tommy to 9 and Smith getting a start at 7?

Thats True; I was basing my presumption on the fact he wasn’t mentioned as being sidelined through injury. Either way wish him well.

I know we want O’Loughlin involved as much as possible as he is retiring, still think it could be a mistake playing him.
We are playing well without him and we’re not missing the penalties he gives away

Think Tommy goes to 9 Harry at 7 I'd put Lockers on the bench think he'll be more suited coming on if and when needed than starting

Andy Last makes one change as he names Hull FC squad to face Wigan Warriors

Lockers on the bench instead of G Burgess. At least lockers is versatile & can play anywhere in the middles, forwards & half back come to that!

Its a miracle...... lockers has miraculously recovered again in time for a big game....... whats the chances?
