Dragons v Warriors - Teams

Wigan could hand a debut to recent recruit Cameron Phelps when they travel to Perpignan this weekend to take on Les Catalans.

The Australian centre joined the Warriors from Canterbury last month and could feature on Saturday night following a successful run-out in the reserves.

Phelps' arrival is a timely boost for coach Brian Noble with Phil Bailey likely to miss out due to a groin injury picked up in the Carnegie Challenge Cup loss to Leeds.

Despite an extra week off due to the postponement of their clash with Huddersfield while work is done on the pitch at the JJB Stadium, Gareth Hock is also a major doubt.

The forward picked up an ankle injury in training and faces a race against time to be fit for the battle between two sides firmly entrenched in the top six.

If Hock is not passed fit Noble may be forced to shift prop Andy Coley back into the second row.

Warriors skipper Sean O'Loughlin will certainly not be in action in France after breaking his shoulder blade last month.

Roaring Dragons

Les Catalans will be looking to record a second win over Wigan this season having already triumphed at the JJB back in April.

A last-gasp Dane Carlaw try from a Thomas Bosc kick to the corner gave Mick Potter's team a surprise 26-24 success that came in the middle of an eight-match unbeaten run in the engage Super League.

A 24-16 triumph over Bradford last week means the Dragons are three points clear of their opponents in third spot in the table, though the Warriors do have a game in hand.

There is only one change from the squad named for the clash with the Bulls, Cyril Stacul coming in to take the place of Julien Touxagas.

Alex Chan (rib) and Dimitri Pelo (ankle) picked up knocks at the Grattan Odsal Stadium last week but should be fit to play.

Les Catalans squad: Bosc, Carlaw, Casty, Chan, Croker, Duport, Elima, Fakir, Greenshields, Gorrell, Guisset, McGuire, Mogg, Mounis, Murphy, Pelo, Raguin, Stacul, Wilson.

Wigan squad: Mathers, Calderwood, Goulding, Carmont, Richards, Barrett, Leuluai, Fielden, Higham, Paleaaesina, Hock, Bailey, Colbon, Coley, Hansen, McIlorum, Prescott, Phelps, J. Tomkins.
