Wigan's poor start to the season has suffered another blow after New Zealand international prop Iafeta Paleaasina was ruled out for six weeks. The 24-year-old limped out of Friday's 24-12 home loss to Warrington with what turned out to be a torn calf muscle.
"It is a big blow to us," said coach Ian Millward, whose side have only won one of their first five games.
"He's been our best take-up forward so far. But these things happen and you have to take them in your stride."
