Head Coach Adrian Lam names 19-man squad to face St Helens
One change from last week as Escare is replaced by Shorrocks
St Helens vs Wigan Warriors, Friday 12th July, Totally Wicked Stadium, K.O. 7:45pm
Head Coach Adrian Lam has named the Wigan Warriors 19-man squad to face St Helens on Friday in the Betfred Super League (K.O.7:45pm).
The reigning Betfred Super League champions will make their second trip to the Totally Wicked Stadium this season, after losing there on the opening day of the 2019 season back in late January.
Injury news
Speaking earlier this week, Head Coach Adrian Lam explained that the decision to select experienced forward Tony Clubb would likely go down to the wire.
He said, We’ll get Tony Clubb to captain’s run and see how he is. He struggled at the start of the week, but he’s settled in ok. It’ll be a decision we make on Thursday.”
Clubb is included in this week’s 19-man squad.
Sean O’Loughlin (achilles) misses out for the second week in a row, while Ben Flower (back) continues his recovery and is expected to return in three to four weeks.
Dom Manfredi (knee) and Tom Davies (ankle) remain the only long-term absentees.

Hopefully Clubb will be fine, even if it’s just to take a place on the bench. To cope with Saints front row I think we’ll need as many middle options as possible, so I’d take out Hankinson and bring in Wells or Byrne.

Doesn't look like Clubb will play from Lam's interview.

Suddenly very confident looking at that pack and bench. Should be a pretty bg mismatch up front. |

I agree. I think we've a few too many missing in the pack and will be a bit lightweight. |

I also think we are really light in the pack and saints will cause us problems in that area particularly.
Nonetheless, we have turned them over a few times in the past, when we didn't look like we would get anything from the game.
This game will show us how much we have progressed from the start of the season ?

100%
At full strength our back row is better then yours and lessens the gap in the front row but shy of Lockers and Greenwood on top of Flower and probably Clubb makes the task too big. The two young boys (Partington and Smithies) have been immense these past few weeks but this will be a different level. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

Only way we will win this game is if we offload like crazy and throw the ball around, tire their pack out otherwise they’ll trample us.

Back row I agree, although I rate Zeb higher than Greenwood and Knowles is massively underrated.
Farrell and SOL are clearly all class though. |

I’d go the other way. Knowles causes me far greater concern than Zeb ever has. Cracking player Knowles. |

Knowles is a good player no doubt. I feel he’ll be a bit of a Lockers and not get the credit he deserves from people who don’t watch him week in week out until he’s later in to his career. I certainly wouldn’t swap a full fit Greenwood for Taia but he’s rarely stayed clear of knocks this season. |

Sky choosing to air the Leeds/KR game over us ffs.
Guess I’ll have to settle for one angled, no commentary highlights 2 hours after.

You're right - playing the game tonight was the mystery for me. Could understand wanting to screen Leeds v Hull KR, although with hindsight its looking like London might fall away badly. |

Was hoping for a dry day to give us more chance of trying to bring our backs into the game more hopefully come game time we will see drier conditions.
I'm going tonight expecting a whooping so anything better than that will be great fully received. I'm expecting that Clubb will not play but hope that Byrne will bring a more physical game.
My main worry is that Saints score quite a few barge over tries a la Cas earlier in the season.
