Wigan v Hull KR: Squads announced

Wigan and Hull KR have both announced their 21-man squad’s for Sunday’s round six clash at the DW Stadium.

A win could see the Warriors move back to the top of the Super League table, while the Robins will be looking to boost themselves out of the bottom two.

Wigan Warriors

Ben Flower is in line to make his first appearance of the season after recovering from a back injury which kept him out for the back end of 2019. Joe Burgess also returns to the side after missing last week’s win over Huddersfield. Tony Clubb and Jake Shorrocks are the men who make way.

21-man squad: 1 Zak Hardaker, 2 Liam Marshall, 3 Chris Hankinson, 5 Joe Burgess, 6 Bevan French, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 9 Sam Powell, 10 George Burgess, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 14 Ben Flower, 16 Morgan Smithies, 17 Ollie Partington, 19 Joe Bullock, 20 Liam Byrne, 21 Dom Manfredi, 22 Mitch Clark, 23 Jake Bibby, 28 Harry Smith, 30 Ethan Havard, 31 Jackson Hastings.
