Forward Ethan Havard has been ruled out for a further period of time.
22-year-old suffers setback in recovery from hamstring injury.
Matt Peet says ‘he us already working hard on recovery.’
Wigan Warriors forward Ethan Havard has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury and faces up to a further eight weeks on the sidelines.
Havard, who recently signed a new contract with the Club, suffered a hamstring injury early in the Betfred Super League Round 18 tie against Wakefield Trinity, initially ruling him out for four to six weeks.
However, the 22-year-old has suffered a setback in training that required surgery.
Head coach Matt Peet said: “It’s sad news for Ethan and the team.
“He is a determined character and is already working hard on his rehabilitation.”

Havard ruled out for eight weeks
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
Big blow for the business end of the season. Was hoping that we'd have Ethan back soon to bolster the pack but it looks like season over if the 8 weeks scenario is correct.

It all depends when the op took place and his powers of recovery. Fingers crossed for Ethan.

Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
I forgot to add that Ethan doesn’t need several games to get his fitness and form back like most prop forwards. I am sure the lad and Club will be doing everything in their power to get him fit for the playoffs.

Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
Wrap the lad in cotton wool and hopefully get him back for the later stages of the playoffs ( providing we make it)
IF YOU STRIKE ME DOWN I WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE
Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
Wrap him in cotton wool and don't try to get him fit for the playoffs, I'd rather get him 110% healed and ready for the preseason rather than risk him getting re-injured

Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
big blow for us but as many have already said the main concern is him getting fit
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks
Typical of the bad luck the team has experienced this season. 
We sign Dupree and so with him, Ellis and Harvard, we had three good forwards then it was pick another from a somewhat reinvigorated Mago, Hill and Byrne. Now we must play one of the last three regardless of any issues such as Byrne playing with pain killers, Hill's lack of experience and the possibility of Mago reverting to type and pray none of the other three get injured or suspended. 
When are we gong to get a break?
