Injury Update

• Matt Peet has given an update on injuries following their Challenge Cup victory, in partnership with Shock Doctor.
• Peet: “We’re in one of those periods now where we are going to look to our academy and our pathway- which is what we’re all about.”
• Wigan see Willie Isa, Kai Pearce-Paul and Ethan Havard sidelined.

Matt Peet confirmed that the Warriors are faced with three fresh injury concerns ahead of a Round 13 trip to Hull Kingston Rovers.

Willie Isa was not featured in the squad for Saturday’s trip to Leeds, after picking up a hamstring injury against the Rhinos in Round 12 as Peet explained: “It’s a long one for Willie, we’re talking months.” Peet said.

Pearce-Paul was also missing from the starting line-up on Saturday: “Kai Pearce-Paul is similar, we lost him in training yesterday, it was his leg.”

Giving a timeframe for Pearce-Paul, Peet expects a lay-off of around eight weeks.

He added: “We’ve also lost Ethan Havard, so we’re in one of those periods now where we are going to look to our academy and our pathway, which is what we’re all about.

“I was told he [Havard] dislocated his elbow, but will need a scan. That was hot off the field, so it could be something different, but that was the immediate feedback I’ve got.”
