Super League team news: Leigh Leopards reveal full-back choice and Catalans Dragons make wing change

The team news is in for tonight’s Super League ties, with clubs such as Warrington Wolves and Leigh Leopards in action.

Sam Burgess’ Wolves travel to newly-promoted York Knights, who are looking to continue their strong start to the new campaign.

Warrington are still undefeated in 2026, but have played one game less than everyone else, after their round two game against Hull KR was postponed for the World Club Challenge.

York defeated Hull FC last week, in another one-point victory. Mark Applegarth’s side will have to be at their very best yet again if they are to overcome the Primrose and Blue of Warrington.

Elsewhere, an injury-hit Leigh Leopards welcome Catalans Dragons. Both sides are bang out of form, and an improved performance is crucial tonight, especially with the pair both wanting to reach the play-offs at the end of the season.

Both teams have won one game each in 2026, and sit 11th and 12th in the table – far from where they are expected to finish come September.
