'Really good year' in store, predicts Warriors pack star

While Wigan aren’t in action until next weekend, when they face Wakefield, the action gets back under on Sunday when St Helens take on Catalans Dragons.

And after almost five months of inactivity due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Farrell and his colleagues can’t wait to get going.

“We’ve got to tick a few more boxes to make sure everyone is right to step on the field when we need to do so,” the second row said.

“Everyone is in a good way at the moment and we’ve got a few more weeks to get our bodies right and then I’m sure we’ll be ready to go.

“It’s a very open league and I know we’re sitting at the top but there’s not many points between first and eighth, so we know we’ve got a lot of work to do.

"If we stay healthy and get into a good run of form, it could be a really good year for us.”
