With pre-season having officially started last week, a larger cohort of senior players reported back to the club on Monday to get their first block of training underway.
New signings Liam Byrne and Toafofoa Sipley are not currently thought to be among them having been given slightly extended breaks, with Byrne having featured extensively in Wigan Warriors’ run to the Super League Grand Final. Both are expected to train for the first time next week.
