Hull FC v Wigan Warriors team news as Matt Peet makes one change to 21-man squad
The 21-man squads are in ahead of Saturday’s Super League clash between Hull FC and Wigan Warriors at the MKM Stadium
Wigan Warriors coach Matt Peet has made just one change to his 21-man squad ahead of Saturday’s trip to the MKM Stadium to face Hull FC.
The Warriors are in a rich vein of form, having won seven of their last eight games, including the Challenge Cup final at Wembley last month.
Peet has made just one change to his extended squad following last Saturday’s 72-20 win at York Knights, with young forward Lukas Mason replacing fellow academy product George Marsden. Taylor Kerr, George O’Loughlin and Shea O’Connor are the other members of Peet’s 21-man squad who could come into the 17, having not made the matchday line-up at York last weekend.
Meanwhile, Hull FC interim coach Andy Last has made three changes to his 21-man squad following their 36-10 home defeat to Wakefield Trinity last Friday, with James Bell, Zak Hardaker and Lennon Clark all coming into contention.
The trio replace Will Kirby (knee), Ethan O’Neill (hamstring) and former Wigan academy man Max Wood, who has returned to his parent club Warrington Wolves following a brief loan spell.
Hull are doing it tough on the injury front at the moment, with Will Pryce (ACL), John Asiata (hamstring), Cade Cust (shoulder), Sam Lisone (pectoral), Ligi Sao (shoulder), Arthur Romano (ankle), Connor Bailey (clavicle), Brad Fash (MCL) and Joe Ward (ACL) all sidelined, while Yusuf Aydin and Roman Dawson are suspended.
Hull FC: Harvey Barron, Davy Litten, Zak Hardaker, Lewis Martin, Jake Arthur, Aidan Sezer, Herman Ese’ese, Amir Bourouh, Harvie Hill, Joe Batchelor, Jed Cartwright, James Bell, Tom Briscoe, Logan Moy, Matty Laidlaw, Hugo Salabio, Callum Kemp, Will Hutchinson, Lloyd Kemp, Lennon Clark, Jeremiah Mata’utia.
Wigan: Jai Field, Zach Eckersley, Adam Keighran, Jake Wardle, Bevan French, Harry Smith, Brad O’Neill, Luke Thompson, Junior Nsemba, Liam Farrell, Kaide Ellis, Patrick Mago, Ollie Partington, Jack Farrimond, Sam Eseh, Kian McDermott, Taylor Kerr, Lukas Mason, Noah Hodkinson, George O’Loughlin, Shea O’Connor.
The Round 16 Super League clash takes place at the MKM Stadium on Saturday afternoon, 3pm kick-off. The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports + Red Button and SuperLeague+, with the match being free to view on the latter.
