Wigan Warriors Head Coach Michael Maguire has today named his 19 man squad for Friday's Engage Super League game at the KC Stadium against Hull FC, 8pm kick off.

Wigan Warriors 19 Man Squad
Sam Tomkins, George Carmont, Pat Richards, Paul Deacon, Thomas Leuluai, Michael McIlorum, Andy Coley, Joel Tomkins, Sean O'Loughlin, Jeff Lima, Ryan Hoffman, Brett Finch, Lee Mossop, Liam Farrell, Stefan Marsh, Josh Charnley, Jach Hughes, Gareth Hock, Ben Cross.
Farrell is definetly starting and Hock is on the bench.
The shout for Marsh is not a bad one. I am so happy Madge is resting H and IMO the rests that players like George had pre Wire paid off big time. You can use what technology/computer programmes you want but ageing players mentally benefit from rest and no computer tells you about the 'heart' of a player to raise and push their game etc.
Lets not go into this game and take a win for granted. Hull gave us a good game last time out and will be looking to push us all the way again. Still confident mind
agree C W i have said all along this season we will slip up at what we think is a win match.
Hull on there day are good and at home.
Think wigan may now have minds elsewhere and while distracred we may slip up. however i really hope not.
There is a steely determination in our camp and we will be fielding a very strong team, Hull are a good team but they are in a rut and are struggling to score, I think we have scored over 30 points in our last 6 games, we will win tonight with good determination, one thing is for sure MM seems to have gotten rid of the easy game gene that teams can have.
Keep the faith 2011 we will have 3 pieces of silver to add to the cabinets!
