Wigan Warriors coach Adrian Lam back home in Australia

Assistant John Winder led training on Wednesday morning and took the weekly press conference in the afternoon.

Lam will be back on Thursday - in time for Sunday’s game v Hull KR.

And Winder doesn’t think will disrupt preparations.

He said: “In my time at the club we’ve been in similar positions but we have a strong leadership team here and it’s about everyone pulling together.”

Lam's predecessor, Shaun Wane, once missed a match because of knee surgery - Winder stepped up and took charge.

And when Wane was assistant coach, he held the reins for two matches when Michael Maguire returned home following the death of his dad.
