"I’ll use my experience, just being around the lads, helping out as much as I can.
"If Waney (Shaun Wane) wants to select me for the World Cup then that’s a conversation we’ll speak about.”
Matty Peet says Farrell will continue to play a part for Wigan, as they look to claim their second trophy of the season.
"Faz is working hard in the background,” he said.
"When he’s back it’ll be great, but in the meantime we’ve got a strong squad and he’ll still lead us as ever.”
