Wigan Warriors will travel to Perpignan to face Catalans Dragons on Saturday evening, as the reigning champions look to reaffirm their position of second in the Super League ladder.
The Warriors face a tough battle to retain their top two spot, with Leeds Rhinos and St Helens just two points behind, with Leigh Leopards three behind. Any slip up could mean they lose their space and the right to a week off in the playoffs.
The Dragons have had an awful season, but found some joy last week in a 38-4 victory over Castleford Tigers. The win was their first in almost two months, and was the first since Joel Tomkins was announced as permanent head coach of the club.
Here is all the latest team news for the fixture, and the 21-man squads selected by the two head coaches.
Catalans Dragons Team News:
Les Dracs have suffered a blow as halfback Theo Fages misses out this week, however some good news is that back rower Tariq Sims comes back into the fold after missing the last two.
Lenny Marc, who could have made his Super League debut last week but wasn’t selected, drops out of the inital squad in place of hooker Ugo Tison. The 24-year-old returned to the club earlier this year after a brief stint in the Queensland Cup.
