No real surprise here neither!

Wigan Warriors Head Coach Shaun Wane has today named his 19 Man Squad for Saturday's Tetley's Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium.

The Warriors go into the showpiece clash against Hull FC at near-full strength, as Darrell Goulding and Captain Sean O'Loughlin return from injury.

Both the Warriors centre and loose forward missed last weekend's defeat to Catalan Dragons in France but have been declared fit to line up on Saturday. Meanwhile the Airlie birds are expected to welcome Tom Lineham, Kirk Yeaman, Danny Tickle, Richard Horne and Joe Arundel back into their 19 man squad.

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, Pat Richards, Matty Smith, Scott Taylor, Iain Thornley, Logan Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, Chris Tuson

dudson and hughes to miss

Went and watched the team leave from the DW this morning, I did not see Dudson but did see Sam Powell.

If Logan gets on the pitch I'll cry.

Pretty much as expected. Only surprise for me is Gelling not even in the 19 (I'd pick him at LC over Thornley). I'd play Hampshire and Crosby too but I don't think Wane will. I expect we'll line up as following:

FB 1 Sam
RW 2 Charnley
RC 3 Goulding
LC 17 Thornley
LW 5 Richards
SO 6 Green
SH 7 Smith
P 20 Dudson
H 9 McIlorum
P 10 Mossop
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Farrell
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 4 Hughes
S 15 Flower
S 16 Tuson
S 21 Taylor

Crosby and Logan miss out

I would have Hughes and Logan missing out but I think Logan will play and Crosby will miss out.

You need glasses.

Probably do, the hair is thinning and my hearing don't seem as good as it use to do, comes to all eventually! I did not see Goulding or MM, but my son saw them get on the coach. Maybe I was too busy watching Kelly interviewing

Lineham has had an operation today so he is not in the squad. Horne and Crooks back in though - probably Horne and Green/Pitts to miss out for us

I'm with you on that !!!!

if Wane tries to get 80 minutes out of MM on that pitch, i'll cry.
