O'Loughlin: Set to return
Wigan welcome back skipper Sean O'Loughlin for Sunday's Super League trip to Hull KR.
O'Loughlin has missed the Warriors' last six games because of a broken shoulder blade.
He is joined in coach Brian Noble's 19-man squad by prop Iafeta Paleaasina, who has recovered from the ankle injury which forced him to miss out last weekend.
George Carmont and Michael McIlorum both suffered knocks against Leeds Rhinos but have been passed fit.
Phil Bailey and Paul Prescott are still missing with the respective hamstring and back injuries.
Hull KR prop Makali Aizue, who has made just one substitute appearance since the Easter Monday defeat at Wigan, is poised to make his return along with second rower Jason Netherton.
Rovers are still without five regulars through injury.
Hull KR: Fitzhenry, Steel, Lovegrove, J. Webster, Welham, Galea, Dobson, Vella, Mills, Crossman, K. Netherton, Gene, Cooke, J. Netherton, Aizue, Fisher, I'Anson, Watts, Chester.
Wigan: Mathers, Calderwood, Goulding, Carmont, Richards, Barrett, Leuluai, Fielden, Higham, Paleaaesina, Hock, O'Loughlin, Colbon, Coley, Hansen, McIlorum, Phelps, Tomkins, O'Carroll.
