WIGAN Warriors Challenge Cup hopes have been boosted by Henry Paul passing an intensive fitness test.

The talented Kiwi has been out of action for several weeks after damaging a shoulder playing for rugby union club Bath.

But the Warriors are satisfied with his fitness and he will be in the squad for Saturday's fourth round Silk Cut showdown at St Helens.

Gary Connolly, recovering from a cruciate ligament operation, is desperate to play but Wigan are still waiting to see if the doctor will pass him fit.

Wigan - backs from: Radlinski, Murray, Ellison, Connolly, Tuigamala, Johnson, Robinson, Long, Paul, Edwards, Murdock. Forwards: O'Connor, Hall, Cowie, Haughton, Cassidy, Farrell. Subs: Holgate, Sherratt.
