Big bonus for the crust munchers to have them both back; Lockers gets a lot of stick but he is pivotal to what Wigan do and Bailey is probably their main defensive workhorse and organiser. Hopefully they're a bit rusty, though, and lack a bit of match fitness/sharpness.

Thank the Lord that Lockers is back. We could do with some penalties awarded against him.

Makes Wigan clear favourites this in my eyes.

Behave yourself. Yes, its a boost IF they are match fit. The intensity of this match will be sky high and if they are not fully match fit they will struggle

Both have been out injured for some time, could them coming back disrupt the team instead of lift them? The form they've achieved recently has been without them

Not clear favourites. Let's not forget Wigan have found some form without O'Loughlin and, lately, coped without Bailey. A bit of rejigging may be in order, which will hopefully disrupt a settled structure.

Agreed. It is a boost to them but it could turn out to be a big risk if they play. Surely, the Camel wont play them unless they are match fit

Who do we have out?

Higham, Wood and Carney. Grix is likely but hopefully King will be back
