Adrian Lam has named the 19-man squad to face Hull KR on Friday 5th July in the Betfred Super League. Sarginson returns, Greenwood and O’Loughlin out injured Wigan Warriors vs Hull Kingston Rovers, Friday 5th July, DW Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm Wigan Warriors Head Coach Adrian Lam has named the 19-man squad to face Hull Kingston Rovers at the DW Stadium on Friday 5th July in the Betfred Super League (K.O. 7:45pm). The two sides met just a month ago at KCOM Craven Park, where a Sam Powell drop goal sealed victory for Lam’s men in a action packed 18-19. Injury News Skipper Sean O’Loughlin, who left the field early injured last week vs Salford, misses out this week with an achilles injury. Second-row Joe Greenwood also misses out. Speaking about Greenwood earlier this week, Adrian Lam said, “Then we’ve got Joe Greenwood who’s out too. We will follow the protocol of head knocks and the return to the field policy, making sure we do the right thing by that.” However, Dan Sarginson returns to the 19 this week after missing the last two games. Dom Manfredi (knee) and Tom Davies (ankle) remain the only long-term injuries in the squad.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.
Marshall was 50% at fault for the dropped bomb last week, then got easily bumped off for a try from the resulting set. He's a great attacking threat, but IMO he's just too vulnerable in defence and under the high ball.
It won't happen, but I'd go with:
FB 4 Sarginson RW 20 Hardaker RC 23 Hankinson LC 4 Gildart LW 5 Burgess SO 6 Williams SH 37 Sammut P 22 Bullock H 9 Powell P 24 Partington SR 15 Isa SR 12 Farrell LF 38 Smithies
S 7 Leuluai (stint at loose as he did last week) S 8 Clubb S 14 Navarette S 36 Byrne (would have preferred we recalled Wells)

To be fair in the situation Hardaker was also 50% at fault. To me Marshall (along with Burgess) are the two best finishers at the club. Marshy scores tries that many of our other players couldn't and on the balance of things he's won us many more games than he's lost us.

I agree. The dropped ball looked more naturally Marshall's ball, but I can see the argument that "if in any doubt, it's the full-back's". It's not the first time something like that has happened this season, and it really shouldn't. Lets hope they've sorted it out in training.
I am far from convinced that Hardaker would make a better winger than Marshy. Sarge is leaving the club anyway, I don't see why we need to move people around to accommodate him as if he were Latrell Mitchell.
I notice everyone has Sammut at 7. Do we really think Lam will start with him there?

Id be amazed if he starts with Sammut in fact it wouldn't surprise me if its Escare and Sammut who miss the cut. Personally I would start with Sammut but I don't think Lam will start with TL, Powell and Sammutt on the field.
The pack looks really lightweight without SOL , Greenwood and Flower so we will need further improvement to beat HKR on Friday.
