Wigan Warriors make two changes for Warrington Wolves clash

Adrian Lam has named an unchanged starting side for Wigan Warriors' clash with Warrington Wolves.

Lam hailed last week's win over Wakefield Trinity as the club's best performance of the season and, with no injury concerns, it's perhaps unsurprising to see the Wigan boss keep changes to a minimum.

Two changes come on the bench, with Liam Byrne returning from injury to replace Mitch Clark, while one young hooker has replaced another with Amir Bourouh being opted ahead of Brad O'Neill.

Bourouh impressed against Huddersfield Giants and gets another opportunity to shine after starring for Championship side Halifax Panthers on loan earlier this year.

It means Jackson Hastings stays at fullback after creating four tries last week, with hat-trick hero Jake Bibby remaining on the wing.

Warrington, who pipped the Warriors to the signing of George Williams, are unable to hand him a debut after not naming him in the squad.

Warriors: Hastings, Bibby, Isa, Gildart, Marshall, Leuluai, Smith, Singleton, Powell, Clubb, Pearce-Paul, Farrell, Partington. Subs: Shorrocks, Byrne, Bourouh, Havard.
