Wigan Warriors have today named their 19 man squad to face Bradford Bulls this Sunday afternoon at the Provident Stadium, Orrell, 3pm kick off.

Wigan welcome back to the 19 after injury long term both Harrison Hansen (pictured) and Lee Mossop as well as Josh Charnley who missed the Wakefield game, Skipper Sean O'Loughlin who missed both Hull KR and Wakefield and Winger Pat Richards who also missed last Sunday following a delayed plane back from his Brothers wedding down under.

The return of these experienced players allows Head Coach Shaun Wane to rest the likes of Greg Burke who has done such a great job at both prop and loose forward in recent weeks.

Wigan Warriors 19 Man Squad (in alphabetical order)

Josh Charnley, Dom Crosby, Gil Dudson, Liam Farrell, Ben Flower, Darrell Goulding, Blake Green, Harrison Hansen, Jack Hughes, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Sean O'Loughlin, Sam Powell, Pat Richards, Matty Smith, Scott Taylor, Iain Thornley, Logan Tomkins, Sam Tomkins

Taylor and L. Tomkins to miss out.

I have feeling that Powell and Taylor will miss out. Wane appears to be giving Logan a couple of games than a couple off. I think Mossop and Hansen will be on the bench.

I really hope he sticks with Taylor. He seems to be finding some form so he should keep going.

Taylor should miss out, he played a shocker in defence last week. At least 2 of their tries where down to his missed tackles. I can see Wane giving him a breather.

Taylor will miss out if Wanes comments I read on the WEP are anything to go by. He said he's playing ok but needs to do better and he's given him things to work on. He also said Gelling wouldn't play because his concentration isn't up to scratch as he dropped 2 kick offs against Wakey (didn't see the game so I can't comment).

It's a harsh and competative environment nowadays, just as it should be.

its good that wane is dropping people based on performance.
i'd like to think that he'd do the same for anyone in the team who wasnt up to the mark - regardless of how big a name they are.

Is that a venue change?
