THE TEAM NEWS

WARRINGTON WOLVES

  • Warrington Wolves maintained their perfect start to the season as they got the better of Toulouse last week but they will have been disappointed to have failed to kick on towards the end of the game as the sloppily conceded the last two tries of the game.
  • Those late efforts didn’t give a true reflection of how comfortable it was for Warrington with just 14 points separating the two come full-time but it at least gave Daryl Powell some food for thought and he will welcome back Gareth Widdop, Ben Currie and Oliver Holmes for this clash.

21-man squad: 1 Stefan Ratchford, 2 Josh Charnley, 3 Peter Mata’utia, 4 Toby King, 5 Matty Ashton, 6 Gareth Widdop, 7 George Williams, 8 Joe Philbin, 9 Daryl Clark, 10 Mike Cooper, 11 Ben Currie, 12 Oliver Holmes, 13 Jack Hughes, 14 Jason Clark, 15 Joe Bullock, 16 Danny Walker, 17 Matt Davis, 19 Robbie Mulhern, 22 Josh Thewlis, 24 Ellis Longstaff, 27 Riley Dean

Unavailable: Billy Magoulias, James Harrison, Greg Minikin, Connor Wrench

Questionable: Ben Currie, Gareth Widdop, Stefan Ratchford, Mike Cooper

CATALANS DRAGONS

  • Catalans Dragons edged a low-scoring contest with Leeds Rhinos to make it back-to-back wins in the Super League but this will be a difficult task for them as they head on the road for the second game in succession and will be without a host of talent.
  • In their quest to make it three straight wins, Catalans will have to do it tough having been forced into making five changes to their 21-man squad with Sam Tomkins, Dean Whare and Michael McIlorum being the most notable absentees.

21-man squad: 2 Tom Davies, 3 Samisoni Langi, 5 Fouad Yaha, 6 Mitchell Pearce, 7 Josh Drinkwater, 11 Matt Whitley, 12 Mike McMeeken, 13 Benjamin Garcia, 14 Alrix Da Costa, 15 Benjamin Jullien, 16 Paul Séguier, 17 Mickael Goudemand, 19 Arthur Romano, 20 Tyrone May, 21 Corentin Le Cam, 23 Jordan Dezaria, 24 Mathieu Cozza, 25 César Rougé, 26 Romain Franco, 28 Sam Kasiano, 30 Florian Vailhen

Unavailable: Arthur Morgue, Julian Bousquet, Gil Dudson, Dylan Napa, Sam Tomkins, Michael McIlorum, Dean Whare, Matthieu Laguerre, Joe Chan

Questionable: Mickael Goudemand

THE PREDICTION

Warrington Wolves and Catalans Dragons will both be content with the starts that they have made to the new season but there is still plenty of improvements for the pair to make. The Wolves have won all three of their games to begin the campaign and have to be confident of extending their winning streak against a severely under-strength Dragons outfit. The French side are missing key men Sam Tomkins and Michael McIlorum as well as a host of players in the pack and those absentees are likely to see them fall short with Wire able to lead at HT and FT.
