New signings Matty Bowen, Dan Sarginson, Tony Clubb, Eddy Pettybourne and John Bateman are named in the 19 and could all make their Super League debuts in the famous cherry and white. Hooker Michael McIlorum is also named after recovering from injury but as expected Josh Charnley misses out following his recent stomach/hernia operation. As revealed earlier in the week, Josh could figure next midweek for the warm up game against the New Zealand Warriors in Hamilton to prove his fitness for the forthcoming World Club Challenge game against the Sydney Roosters on January 22nd.

Personally I would have had Rocky Hampshire on the bench.

[RobWigan]

Dudson not in the 19 CPWigan, i agree with having Hampahire on.the bench

[RobWigan]

Powell definently one name on the bench so thats 3 spots left, i am happy Tomkins is not in the squad and Powell is, never impresses me

[RobWigan]

Really theres only one bench spot left, 16 players definently in the 17, so that leaves the one bench spot between Gelling,Hughes and Crosby

I think it'll go to Hughes to cover multiple positions
