Adrian Lam names 21-man squad to face St Helens in Round 19 of the Betfred Super League.
Two changes as Liam Byrne and Chris Hankinson replace Dom Manfredi and Joe Shorrocks.
St Helens vs Wigan Warriors, Friday 30th October, Totally Wicked Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm.
Adrian Lam has named the Wigan Warriors 21-man squad to face rivals St Helens this Friday in Round 19 of the Betfred Super League.
The Cherry and Whites will travel to the Totally Wicked Stadium for the second week in a row to face local rivals Saints in a battle of first vs second.

Lam has made changes to the side selected for Salford last week, with Liam Byrne and Chris Hankinson replacing Joe Shorrocks and the injured Dom Manfredi.

Updating on Manfredi earlier this week, the Head Coach said: “Dom has fluid on his knee at the moment. We are going to get that drained this week and see how it sits, but it could potentially be another week or two for Dom.”


Willie Isa will make his 250th career appearance if selected on Friday.

Is exactly the point with Singleton. He has lifted the whole place and there isn’t a stat for that. I wouldn’t expect a Saints fan to have seen the online clips of him banging the drum after his debut win or interviews with other players singing his praises but they absolutely love him by the looks of things. The interviews have been gushing in praise and he is clearly see him as a leader already.

Sorry, you misunderstand. I meant the sustained pressure throughout the match of which the Singleton incident was a clear and visual marker. A show of the intent Wigan had brought to the match, if you will.

I think the unforced dropped ball was the 2nd incident (although that's not really relevant to the point I'm making).

His interview after the match was so telling, he's just made up to have a chance to play and earn a living through RL after what's happened with Toronto.

Singleton was a player I always looked out for. Years ago Stuart Fielding was coming back from an injury and played in the reserves/academy when you were allowed three overage players. Singleton played in that game as a young about seventeen year old and he went after Fielden from the start, very similar to the way he has done with the "bigger names" in the last three games.

how long did each player do on the pitch?
