Wigan Warriors vs Hull KR: 21-man squads, injury news, kick-off time & TV details

Wigan Warriors take on Hull KR this Thursday night at the DW Stadium in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

Wigan go into this home fixture on the back of a 42-12 thrashing by Leeds Rhinos in what proved to be a shock result.

Meanwhile, Hull KR were worthy 30-22 winners over a lacklustre Warrington Wolves side that now languishes third from bottom. Rovers, however, have an eye on the play-offs.
