Hull KR v Wigan Warriors, Thursday 25th May, 8pm K.O.

Matt Peet has named his 21-man squad for Thursday’s Betfred Super League game against Hull KR at Sewell Group Craven Park (8pm K.O.)

Matt Peet has made two changes to his 21-player squad as injured duo Kai Pearce-Paul and Ethan Havard drop out of the squad in place of Tom Forber and Harvey Makin.

Wigan squad for Hull KR:

2 Bevan French
3 Toby King
4 Jake Wardle
5 Liam Marshall
6 Cade Cust
7 Harry Smith
9 Sam Powell
10 Liam Byrne
12 Liam Farrell
13 Morgan Smithies
15 Kaide Ellis
19 Joe Shorrocks
20 Patrick Mago
21 Iain Thornley
22 Brad O’Neill
23 Abbas Miski
26 Harvie Hill
27 Junior Nsemba
W9 Tom Forber
32 Ryan Hampshire
33 Harvey Makin

Wigan make the trip to Sewell Group Craven Park on Thursday evening, tickets are still available for the fixture HERE.

Can anybody let inform us about Harvie Makin please? I know he's a prop but seems very young and I'm assuming that there's not really any intention to play him this week. Does he seem likely to get any matches this season or in the near future?

I haven't seen much of him, he played well for Reserves v a strong Trinity Reserves in April.

He has played for Oldham at least once, unfortunately it was in the Challenge Cup.

He has played in the Academy this season so, yes he is a youngster, but he seems to have been fast tracked.

Surprised to see we are slight favourites for this one!

think the weather in theory should help us as youre traditionally less reliant on props in good weather as you can chuck it about more

That's true, but with numbers of props dwindling, warm weather can also mean we could do with big guys on the bench to rotate.

Mago doesn’t do much rotating.

The 2 games against Leeds I thought he added some much needed punch down the middle. If anyone recalls I've been a big advocate of us leaving him out altogether for months - but we need his strong carries at the moment as our pack is looking very lightweight
