Wigan Warriors Team News: Anxious wait over French
Wigan Warriors fans will be holding their breath regarding the availability of star player Bevan French. Whilst the Aussie has been named in the squad, it remains to be seen as to whether he will be fit enough to start, or feature at any point for the hosts.

Hull KR Team News: No McIlorum reunion
Veteran Micky McIlorum will not face his former club at the Brick Community Stadium and his leadership skills will be missed by the visiting Hull KR. In better news however, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Mikey Lewis and Sam Luckley should all be fit to play.
Squad: Tom Davies, Peta Hiku, Joe Burgess, Mikey Lewis, Sauaso Sue, Jez Litten, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dean Hadley, James Batchelor, Elliot Minchella, Sam Luckley, Jai Whitbread, Rhyse Martin, Jack Broadbent, Kelepi Tanginoa, Jack Brown, Eribe Doro, Bill Leyland, Arthur Mourgue, Noah Booth, Rowan Milnes
Wigan Warriors vs Hull KR Prediction
Wigan Warriors have been waiting for the chance to stop the Hull KR train which has been cruising towards the League Leaders’ Shield for a long time now and they finally get to go up against Willie Peters’ side with the gap between the two teams currently at four points. Following a hard-fought away win at Warrington Wolves, the hosts come into this match in good spirits and when it comes to pressure situations and big games under Matt Peet, Wigan normally rise to the occasion.
Hull KR have won 18 games from 21 now in Super League this season, but none of those victories were against Wigan Warriors, who came out on top the last time these two teams faced off, winning 12-28 at Craven Park all the way back in April. This just further underlines that ‘big game mentality’ that Wigan possess. Ultimately though, the key factor is Bevan French. If French is available, which Peet is hoping will be the case, the Warriors are worth backing to overcome Hull KR again.
