Super League<\/a> games against Castleford Tigers, Warrington Wolves and Bradford Bulls before returning for next month\u2019s Challenge Cup semi-final clash against rivals St Helens.<\/p>\nSpeaking in Wednesday afternoon\u2019s pre-match press conference ahead of their home game against Castleford on Sunday, Warriors head coach Peet explained: \u201cWe briefly talked about appealing.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to consider it \u2013 particularly the Harry one. But the rules are the rules, and there are no nuances there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s zero (games) or it\u2019s three, and the fact is Harry did what he did. It\u2019s black and white. Everyone can see there was no malice, but we\u2019ve got to take it on the chin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith any coach, you lose players and you\u2019re a bit frustrated. I think players on both teams would have wished certain things didn\u2019t happen, but you\u2019ve got to understand in sport, at that level of competition and that intensity, there are moments.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got to learn from them, keep our own house in order and enjoy the challenge that faces us now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019ve got a few options, but it\u2019s a bit early in the week to share my team\u2019<\/p>\n
The losses of Walters and Smith give Peet a selection headache, with only front-rower Ethan Havard returning this weekend having sat out of the cup tie at Wakefield after a failed HIA.<\/p>\n
Centre Jake Wardle remains a few weeks away from a return, and star man Bevan French is still sidelined, leaving 20-year-old Jack Farrimond as the most senior choice in the halves.<\/p>\n
Peet was coy on who would slot into the halves and back-row to replace Smith and Walters respectively, as he said: \u201cThe fact is he (Farrimond) has been playing week after week now. This is great for Jack, and a challenge we\u2019re all excited about.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got a few options, but it\u2019s a bit early in the week to share my team. Jai Field has played in the halves before, Adam Keighran has played in the halves before. We\u2019ll do a bit of work on the training field this week and we\u2019ll be prepared.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got middle unit players who can play out there (in the back-row). Sam was a middle player on the edge \u2013 there\u2019s Ethan Havard, Luke Thompson, Kaide Ellis, Lukas Mason, Jonny Vaughan and Oliver Partington (as options).\u201d<\/p>\n
Wigan had lost back-to-back Super League games prior to last weekend\u2019s cup success at Wakefield, but remain joint-top of the ladder ahead of Round 8.<\/p>\n
The Cherry and Whites boss continued: \u201cI enjoy the challenges\u2026 even last week, when you\u2019re coming off the back of a poor end to the St Helens game and you\u2019ve got to review it, learn and improve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe challenge of it is what defines you as a group \u2013 players, staff and as a club. This is just another challenge, that\u2019s the best word for it, and something we\u2019ve got to work on the best way to attack, practice and then ultimately execute on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
