Wigan coach Matt Peet has named his 21-man squad for the Round Nine clash with Warrington at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and has been forced to bring back a player midway through a loan spell in the Championship.

The Wigan Head Coach has made two changes to the squad. Mike Cooper will miss the remainder of the season, whilst Morgan Smithies is unavailable due to a one-match suspension, in their places come Harvie Hill who has been recalled from a short loan with Toulouse Olympique and Willie Isa who is back available after his one-match suspension.
