Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons at the newly-named Luke Little Stadium is one of two Friday night Super League games and both coaches have named their starting 17s.
The 2025 Darts World Champion is the guest of honour at his hometown club for its ‘one night only’ event and stadium renaming.
Warrington started their season with a narrow 20-12 win over Huddersfield Giants with head coach Sam Burgess describing their performance as ‘rusty’.
They’ll be looking to go two from two before they head to Las Vegas for a round three showdown with Wigan Warriors.
Catalans Dragons arguably had the most disappointing round 1 performance, losing 22-4 to Hull FC in Perpignan.
The Dragons had plenty of scoring opportunities but a lack of execution is something they’ll need to fix against the Wolves, according to head coach Steve McNamara.
Following their 21-man squad announcements, we now have their match-day line-ups for the game.
