Wigan go into this as the favourites. Home advantage and an excellent run of form compared to a dismal start by Les Catalans and off field issues that have seemed to unsettle the Catalan players. However in Super League anything can happen and Wigan have been notorious to play fantastic one week and awful the next. Although that was under the Noble regime. I expect Wigan to win this one, but I never go into a game 100% confident of a win.
Hope a few of you can get down and watch (hopefully) a great game of Rugby League.

Rugby Union: When entertainment just isn't your thing.
Saturday night took alot out of us some of the players dropped to the floor when the final hooter went, saying that our fitness levels are massive this year and i know for sure our players will be going out all guns blazing not expecting a walkover.
Looking forward to the game and safe journey over to any fans making the long trip

why do you think we need to persist with an inexperienced, young halfback?
as we are i think we need to see casey move back to 7 with kane at 9, if were struggling i think we should forget about blooding barthau, the lad doesnt need the extra responsibility, when form improves by all means play him, but right now we need our experienced heads pulling the side around

Good call Marv, but doesn't look like happening as Bentley has been told to train with St Esteve!
Hi all! I think Marv has made some good points, especially about Kane. He and his brother are good players but don't seem to get their chance. I spoke to them at the St Helens match and they both still train with the Dragons but turn out for St Estève. Walker and Johnson look good though. About the Elima red card, I had a look at the Warrington v Wigan match on the Super League Show and I saw a real red card. Morleys hit on Hansen was Illegall, no attempt to tackle, just ran at him with a high arm and hit him with the shoulder upper arm, at Hanson's head. Yet no ban. As one of the other guys on the BBC forums said "Morley plays for the wire, Elima only plays for Catalans - easy as that" I think Olivier has been hard done by.
