Wigan Warriors v Leigh Leopards line-ups confirmed as Matt Peet names unchanged squad
Wigan Warriors coach Matt Peet has named an unchanged line-up that will host Leigh Leopards at the Brick Community Stadium on Thursday night.
Peet has named a fully unchanged line-up that picked up a 34-6 victory over Hull FC last Saturday night.
Warriors skipper Liam Farrell remains in the left centre spot in the absence of Jake Wardle, whilst Adam Keighran is free to play after avoiding suspension following his sin-bin last week. Off-season recruit Dayon Sambou is 18th man again.
Meanwhile, Leigh coach Adrian Lam has made two changes to his side that lost at St Helens last time out. Frankie Halton comes into the back-row, with Andy Badrock moving to 18th man.
However, the Leopards have been dealt a blow, with star man Edwin Ipape a notable absentee from the teamsheet. As a result, halfback Gareth O’Brien comes onto the bench.
Wigan: Jai Field; Zach Eckersley, Adam Keighran, Liam Farrell, Liam Marshall; Bevan French, Harry Smith; Ethan Havard, Brad O’Neill, Luke Thompson, Junior Nsemba, Sam Walters, Kaide Ellis. Subs: Patrick Mago, Ollie Partington, Sam Eseh, Tom Forber. 18th man: Dayon Sambou.
Leigh: Bailey Hodgson; Innes Senior, Tesi Niu, Keanan Brand, Josh Charnley; Adam Cook, Lachlan Lam; Joe Ofahengaue, Liam Horne, Robbie Mulhern, Frankie Halton, Owen Trout, Isaac Liu. Subs: Jack Hughes, Matt Davis, Jacob Alick-Wiencke, Gareth O’Brien. 18th man: Andrew Badrock.
The Round Two Super League clash takes place at the Brick Community Stadium on Thursday night, 8pm kick-off. The game will also be broadcast live on Sky Sports + Channel and Sky Sports Action.
