19 man squad for Huddersfield Friday. : Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:01 am  

Adrian Lam names Wigan’s 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants. Byrne and Sarginson drop out of the 19 as Hardaker and Greenwood return from injury Huddersfield Giants vs Wigan Warriors, Friday 21st June, John Smith’s Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm Head Coach Adrian Lam has named the Wigan Warriors 19-man squad to face Huddersfield Giants in the Betfred Super League on Friday at the John Smith’s Stadium (K.O. 7:45pm). Last time the two Clubs met the Giants came out on top, winning 6-14 at the DW Stadium back in March. The two sides head into this Friday’s tie in differing form, with Wigan having won their last two in the competition, while Huddersfield have lost their last two games. Injury news Dan Sarginson fails to make the 19 this week with Head Coach Adrian Lam flagging up a number of slight injury concerns for the centre. Earlier this week he said, “He’s got a couple of niggly injuries; his shoulder, which he hurt early on in the game against Leeds. There’s also his back, his groin and his head. He’s one of the hardest workers in Super League and I imagine he sleeps well but his body is pretty sore so it might be a week that we don’t risk him.” Ben Flower misses out for a second week in a row with a back injury picked up in Wigan’s win over Hull KR. Two players return to the 19 this week following short spells on the sidelines. Zak Hardaker returns from a hamstring injury which saw him miss last week’s trip to Leeds. Joe Greenwood also returns, having not played since the Magic Weekend vs Warrington Wolves in May. Tom Davies (ankle) and Dom Manfredi (knee) remain on the comeback trail from their long-term injuries.

Only 4 props named so hard to see who gets left out alongside Escare.
Might be Sammut, the photos the club released yesterday at training showed his knee still heavily strapped so safe to assume he's not 100% yet.

Seems strange to rest players when we're going through a crucial part of our season.

We really need to build some momentum and confidence and constantly changing players isn't going to help that.

We're out of the cup, so let the lads rest then.

Leuluai is doubtful so if he missed out I guess we’ll go the same as last week but with Sammut starting, Hardaker in for Sarginson and Greenwood on the bench for Smithies or Partington. Lam has confirmed Greenwood will only make the bench.

Unless he's going to use Lockers at prop with Smithies at 13.

Just watched the tries on SKY sports site, looks like the match was played in an inch of water.

Lovely summers day yesterday which was perfect for summer rugby and Huddersfield decide to waterlog the pitch?

Was this tactics by them to try and slow us down on the outside, take advantage of our weak pack situation?

I think it was sand mate. They were saying on Wish FM they’ve just laid the pitch again and it doesn’t look to have fully bedded in.

Was it? Ha, was looking at the tries on my phone and really did look like water.

Ignore me then! Ha
