Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet gives his verdict on impressive start by forward

24-year-old Byrne was a late withdrawal ahead of last week’s fixture with Huddersfield Giants due to a hip injury and was replaced on the bench by Tiaki Chan for his competitive debut.

Back-rower Nsemba, 19, had surgery during the off-season on a meniscal repair but could make his return at Cherry Red Records Stadium.

A call-up for winger Douglas would mark his first-team debut, having been promoted to the senior squad in January 2023.

Outside-back Zach Eckersley has also been named, having featured for the club during their pre-season schedule alongside fellow academy product Douglas.

21-man squad: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, French, Smith, O’Neill, Isa, Farrell, Ellis, Mago, Thompson, Dupree, Hill, Nsemba, Hampshire, Chan, Eckersley, Forber, Douglas, Farrimond.
