THE TEAM NEWS
WIGAN WARRIORS
- Wigan Warriors continued their strong start to the season by securing safe passage to the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup as they comfortably saw off the efforts of Salford Red Devils, nilling their opponents in that contest.
- That win came off the back of a Super League success against Castleford Tigers with them now sitting on six wins from their seven games in all competitions this season and in a further boost, Bevan French could make his first appearance of the year in this clash.
21-man squad: 1 Bevan French, 2 Jake Bibby, 3 Zak Hardaker, 4 Iain Thornley, 5 Liam Marshall, 6 Cade Rust, 7 Thomas Leuluai, 8 Brad Singleton, 9 Sam Powell, 10 Patrick Mago, 11 Willie Isa, 12 Liam Farrell, 13 John Bateman, 14 Morgan Smithies, 16 Harry Smith, 17 Oliver Partington, 19 Ethan Havard, 20 Liam Byrne, 22 Joe Shorrocks, 23 Jai Field, 24 Abbas Miski
Unavailable: Kaide Ellis, Tommy Leuluai, Kai Pearce-Paul
Questionable: Bevan French, Iain Thornley
HULL FC
- Hull FC were comfortable victors over Featherstone Rovers in their Challenge Cup last week with the black and whites making it three straight wins in all competitions but this will be a good test of where they are at.
- Hull saw off Huddersfield Giants in their previous Super League outing and with their list of unavailable players beginning to shrink thanks to the return of Luke Gale, Darnell McIntosh and Kane Evans, the away side will believe they can record another victory in this one.
21-man squad: 1 Jake Connor, 2 Adam Swift, 3 Carlos Tuimavave, 4 Josh Griffin, 5 Darnell McIntosh, 7 Luke Gale, 8 Ligi Sao, 9 Danny Houghton, 10 Tevita Satae, 11 Andre Savelio, 12 Manu Ma’u, 13 Jordan Lane, 14 Joe Lovodua, 16 Kane Evans, 17 Brad Fash, 19 Ben McNamara, 20 Jack Brown, 21 Jordan Johnstone, 22 Josh Bowden, 23 Connor Wynne, 25 Mitieli Vulikijapani
Unavailable: Scott Taylor, Cameron Scott, Josh Reynolds, Joe Cator, Jamie Shaul
Questionable: Carlos Tuimavave, Darnell McIntosh
THE PREDICTION
Wigan Warriors and Hull FC will both be confident of their chances in this matchup with very little separating the pair at this relatively early stage of the season. They have lost just three games between them in all competitions so far this year and both squads are starting to look stronger too. Key men Bevan French and Luke Gale could return for this contest but the latter will have it all to do to end the five-game losing streak that his side possess in Super League games against the Warriors. However, a +10.5 start is a lot for the visitors so while they might not win, they should be able to keep it close enough to prevail with the aid of the handicap.
