19 man squad for Hull K R Friday : Wed Jul 03, 2019 10:59 am  

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.

If Chris Hankinson gets moved from right centre to simply accommodate a returning Dan Sarginson then Lammy needs to have a long hard look at himself.

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)

Sarg on the bench for me with him spelling a back rower and Hankinson shuffling across one in to the second row.

Hardaker
Marshall Hankinson Gildart Burgess
Williams Sammut
Clubb Leuluai Navarette
Isa Farrell Powell

Subs-Bullock, Partington, Smithies, Sarginson.

Hardaker
Burgess
Gildart
Sarginson
Marshall
Williams
Sammut
Clubb
Leuluai
Navarette
Farrell
Hankinson
Powell

Bullock
Partington

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.

Hardaker on the wing?

Really

Re: 19 man squad for Hull K R Friday : Wed Jul 03, 2019 5:47 pm  

I must have missed Leuluai’s stint at loose forward as well.

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.
