DARRYL Cardiss has been given the scrum-half role for Wigan Warriors' trip to Hull Sharks on Sunday.

A knee injury has ruled out Tony Smith and Cardiss, whose move to Bradford Bulls was blocked by coach John Monie earlier this month, takes over. Phil Johnson returns to the subs' bench as the only change to the 17 that performed in the easy win over Huddersfield last week.

Wigan: Radlinski, Bell, Connolly, Moore, Robinson, Paul, Cardiss, Cowie, McCormack, Mestrov, Haughton, Betts, Farrell. Subs: Holgate, Cassidy, Gilmour, Johnson.
