Adrian Lam reveals which injured players are close to Wigan Warriors return

Lam revealed marquee recruit George Burgess is very close to returning from the niggling injury that saw him limp off in the first half against Warrington and if he does not feature against Huddersfield on Sunday, then he will be ready for Hull KR.

"George is really close to returning. It will be next week or the week after," said Lam. "We just have to monitor him and ensure he gets a full week of training and then he will fit into that group somewhere."

Fellow prop Ben Flower is "another week away", says Lam, who already has senior figures such as Joe Burgess, Joe Greenwood and Morgan Escare fit but not selected.

Captain Sean O'Loughlin, recovering from an eye injury, may be two weeks away.

Hull coach Lee Radford failed to hide his disappointment after seeing his side crash to a second consecutive Super League defeat.

The Black and Whites conceded 16 second-half points and Radford is unhappy at the way they are attacking as well.

"The second half they came out and did a tidy job on us," he said. "We made some costly errors and they slowly ground us down. It looks painful some of the plays we are running.

"You have got to break the opposition's momentum with some special efforts and we probably didn't see enough of them. We needed a bit more from everybody, we just slowly got ground down with a team that had a lot of possession. They didn't do anything spectacular but did their jobs really well."I don't think anyone was outstanding today. Josh Griffin was head and shoulders our best player I thought. But there were a lot of OK performances around that."
