THE TEAM NEWS

WIGAN WARRIORS

  • Wigan Warriors were well below their best as they were comfortably defeated by Hull KR last week as their three-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end.
  • Head coach Matt Peet will be looking for a big response from his side here with Liam Byrne back from a ban while off-season signing Sam Walters could make his club debut.

21-MAN SQUAD: Field, Miski, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall, French, Smith, Havard, O’Neill, Byrne, Farrell, Ellis, Mago, Thompson, Leeming, Dupree, Hill, Nsemba, Walters, Hampshire, Eckersley

CATALANS DRAGONS

  • Catalans Dragons were extremely poor as they went down to Leigh Leopards and they failed to score a try in the process during that one-sided loss.
  • The 30-2 scoreline came on the back of a lacklustre second half in which the French side shipped 24 unanswered points but Mike McMeeken and Jordan Abdull are back in contention here.

21-MAN SQUAD: Mourgue, Davies, Romano, Laguerre, Yaha, Nikorima, Fages, McMeeken, Bousquet, Sims, Seguier, Garcia, Da Costa, Sironen, Navarrete, Rouge, Satae, Johnstone, Abdull, Maria, Aispuro-Bichet

THE PREDICTION

Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons both suffered surprising losses last week with each side aiming to bounce back here. Wigan were downed by Hull KR while the Dragons could only muster a penalty goal in their defeat to Leigh Leopards. There could be some nervy exchanges early on in this contest with both underwhelming last week but on home soil, it is hard to see beyond the reigning champions in this one.
