As things stand, it doesn’t appear as though the Wigan Warriors have no injury concerns going into the new season with both Cade Cust and Liam Farrell returning to training in recent weeks after missing the last few weeks and months of last season.
For Leeds Rhinos and Wakefield Trinity, the same can be said with both West Yorkshire sides looking fit and raring to go for 2023 whilst Leigh Leopards look to have a clean bill of health as they prepare for their first season back in the top flight.
