Adrian Lam names 21-man squad with four former Wigan players for Battle of the Borough
Leigh Leopards have named their 21-man squad to take on Wigan Warriors in the first Battle of the Borough of 2024.
Coach Adrian Lam has named four ex-Wigan players in his squad for Thursday’s Super League Round 7 clash.
Zak Hardaker, Josh Charnley, Jack Hughes and Umyla Hanley have all been included – having made a combined 339 appearances in cherry & white.
Having missed the Rivals Round clash against Salford, powerful centre Ricky Leutele has been named, while Matt Moylan will face Wigan for the first time in his career following his move from the NRL ahead of 2024.
The current Challenge Cup holders are currently without key players Edwin Ipape, John Asiata and Tom Amone due to injury, while Warriors academy product Hanley has enjoyed eight tries in 2024 in place of the injured Tom Briscoe on the wing.
Leigh 21-man squad: O’Brien, Hardaker, Leutele, Charnley, Moylan, Lam, Mulhern, O’Donnell, Hughes, Norman, Davis, Halton, Trout, Nakubuwai, Chamberlain, McNamara, Hanley, Nisbet, Baxter, Darbyshire, Dwyer.
