Wigan Warriors lose forward for play-off showdown with Leeds Rhinos

Wigan Warriors will be without Joe Bullock for the play-off clash with Leeds Rhinos.

The prop has not been passed fit to play in the do-or-die contest after suffering a shoulder injury in the victory over Catalans Dragons.

Bullock, 28, could now have played his final game for the club, with a move to Warrington Wolves expected next season.

He has played 18 Super League games for the Warriors this season.

He's one of three players who drop out from last week's 21-man squad, with Brad O'Neill and Umyla Hanley also making way.

They are replaced by Liam Marshall, Morgan Smithies and Brad Singleton, who were all rested last week.

Liam Farrell, John Bateman and Sam Powell all retain their place in the squad despite not featuring against the Dragons last week.

Wigan Warriors squad: Zak Hardaker, Oliver Gildart, Liam Marshall, Brad Singleton, Sam Powell, Willie Isa, Liam Farrell, John Bateman, Oliver Partington, Morgan Smithies, Tony Clubb, Liam Byrne, Harry Smith, Ethan Havard, Jake Bibby, Mitch Clark, Joe Shorrocks, Kai Pearce-Paul, Sam Halsall, James McDonnell, Jackson Hastings.
