Wigan Warriors dealt huge blow before Challenge Cup showdown

Wigan Warriors will be without prop Ethan Havard for their Challenge Cup semi-final against St Helens after he received a one-match suspension following a Grade B charge from the Match Review Panel, which pushed his disciplinary points total to 6.5, exceeding the six-point threshold. Wigan will also be missing Liam Marshall and Bevan French due to long-term hamstring injuries, though Harry Smith and Sam Walters return from three-match suspensions. St Helens enter the semi-final in strong form, having lost only once since round one.
