Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet has confirmed that injured youngsters Jack Farrimond and Noah Hodkinson could be available for selection as the club's play-off campaign begins. Farrimond has been sidelined since July with a hamstring injury, while Hodkinson has been out since August with a quad injury. Both players are in contention for the upcoming semi-finals.

Despite their return to fitness, Peet indicated that both players are unlikely to be selected unless further injuries occur to regular squad members. Additionally, forward Oli Wilson will remain unavailable for the rest of the season due to an Achilles injury, while Peet confirmed the club is unlikely to make external signings to replace departing players like Liam Farrell.
