Matt Peet has confirmed that star full-back Jai Field and youngster George Marsden will return for Wigan Warriors this week.

Wigan travel to West Yorkshire, where bottom-of-the-table Huddersfield Giants await them on Friday night. The Giants pulled off a shock win over the Warriors earlier this season, something Peet referenced in his pre-match comments.

However, the big news to come from the boss was his confirmation that both Field and Marsden will shape up for the club after recovering from injury.

“We get George Marsden and Jai Field back, which will allow us to get different people back in their positions,” Peet said to the club website. “It’s still early in the week, but we shouldn’t be too much different, other than that.”

Field was one of many absentees from last week’s win over Warrington, and it forced Josh Cartwright to play full-back – something he did exceptionally.

Marsden, meanwhile, suffered a knock in Wigan’s reserves win over Leeds the weekend before Magic, and hasn’t been seen since.

Addressing the challenge that lies ahead in Huddersfield, Peet said: “They’ve always competed against us. They’ve had some misfortune through the season, but since Jim [Lenihan’s] come in, he’s been looking to put his own stamp on the team.

“You’ve seen a clear focus on getting the fundamentals of the game right and being a hard-working, durable and tough team. More often than not, since he’s been in, they’ve moved in the right direction.

“Jim will be encouraged by what he’s seen since coming in, and we know we’ll have to play very well.”

Reflecting on how they earn revenge from that shock defeat, Peet added: “The process would have remained the same, it would have been looking at what went wrong.

“We didn’t get the start right and we had to sustain a lot of pressure which we never came out the other side. Huddersfield were excellent as well, and they put us to the sword

“We got a few things wrong, but they punished us, they were very clinical, and we’ve got to expect the same again.”
