THE TEAM NEWS

WIGAN WARRIORS

• Wigan Warriors produced another strong performance as they swept aside Castleford Tigers last week to make it back-to-back victories.
• The Warriors were able to nil their opponents for the second week running as they claimed a 0-36 success and that defensive solidity will be required once again in this clash where Matt Peet has named an unchanged 21-man squad.

21-man squad: Field, French, King, Wardle, Marshall, Cust, Smith, Singleton, Powell, Byrne, Isa, Farrell, Smithies, Cooper, Ellis, Havard, Pearce-Paul, Mago, O’Neill, Miski, Nsemba

Unavailable: Ryan Hampshire (Injured), Iain Thornley (Injured)

CATALANS DRAGONS

• Catalans Dragons maintained their perfect start to the season as they produced their best performance in the opening three rounds to thrash Hull FC.
• The French side bullied their opponents from the off with their pack doing some serious damage but they have suffered further injury woe with Cesar Rogue and Romain Navarrete joining the list of unavailable players.

21-man squad: Mourgue, Davies, Keighran, Laguerre, May, McMeeken, McIlorum, Bousquet, Seguier, Garcia, Goudemand, Chan, Romano, Taukeiaho, Dezaria, Johnstone, Scimone, Ma’u, Tison, Castano, Zenon

Unavailable: Fouad Yaha (Injured), Mitchell Pearce (Injured), Matt Whitley (Injured), Sam Tomkins (Injured), Cesar Rouge (Injured), Romain Navarrete (Injured)

Questionable: Manu Ma’u

THE PREDICTION

Wigan Warriors and Catalans Dragons should both be there or thereabouts in the top four this season and the pair will be eager to highlight their quality in this intriguing encounter. Wigan have put their opening round loss to Hull KR well and truly behind them by nilling their next two opponents and they will be tough to break down here. Catalans have won all three games to begin the campaign but they are starting to run out of numbers in the halves with injuries already biting and with the Warriors not losing a regular season home game since September 2021, the hosts have to be favoured here and can win by 13+ points.
