Asuming Casty and Bosc aren't back would guess they'll be unchanged? Not sure what's going on with Broughton or Willie Mason for that matter. Gigot Yaha Inu Duport Richards Carney Myler Anderson Aiton Bousquet Stewart Horo Baitieri
Taylor, Pelissier, Mounis, Elima.
Back row battle could be interesting, both sides strong in this respect.
I'd hope we'd be unchanged but obviously would depend on status of Fonua and Manu, we could really do with both being available. Think we're waiting on Ellis for another couple of weeks.

Can't see us winning but we need to be very competitive throughout the game. Our last 2 run outs have been good but both sides defended like 11 year olds at times and we need a better challenge for us to judge where we are. Won't be too disappointed with a close loss but would obviously hope we can nick it

Agreed.
Saturday is a free hit in that it's not a game we'd expect to win. Two points would be fantastic but a good performance and a narrow defeat wouldn't be the end of the world.
It's a good time to play them, away from the heat of June/July whic we've tended to have played in there in recent seasons.

If we want to progress though, I'd hope we'd be competitive given we've got a week off afterwards too. We ran them quite close last year IIRC. Freyssinous says it's been warm and they've been watering the pitch, hopefully the temperature doesn't plummet again..

As said, Aiton won't play v yourselves, he went off after 12 mins and didn't return. LF said it was a bicep injury. Pelissior played the 70 mins and didn't run out of energy on that dreadful pitch. LF also mentioned that it had been 20 degrees in Perpignan for the past 4 weeks hence they found the conditions difficult at Wigan.
Us Wigan fans thought they were a very sound outfit. Defence is well organised (for them) but not much scope the show attacking flair but that maybe disguises the talent they have. Carney and Myler mostly played shoulder to shoulder and will realy cause problems this season.
You look good on tv and this will be a test for your guys. Should be a good game and looking forward to watching it. (On tv)
