LEIGH LEOPARDS will be hosting Wigan Warriors at the Leigh Sports Village on Thursday night, with the game live on Sky Sports.
It may well be a happy homecoming for Adrian Lam’s men following their win at Hull FC last weekend with Leigh now accruing a 50% win rate for Super League 2023 so far.
Meanwhile, Wigan just about crept home against the Salford Red Devils last weekend as a Toby King try with seven minutes to go ensured a win for Matt Peet’s men.
Team news and injuries
Leigh will not have Joe Shorrocks available for this clash with Wigan recalling the forward from his two-week loan.
Meanwhile, Warriors boss Matt Peet could include Shorrock in his own squad for the trip to the Leopards, with Iain Thornley also getting valuable game time with the Barrow Raiders. Shorrocks replaces Junior Nsemba in the squad.
