Warrington v Catalan Dragons (Sun)

Warrington have Mike Cooper back in the squad for the first time since injuring his shoulder in the season-opening defeat to Huddersfield on 13 February.

But Tony Smith’s men, who have since won six on the spin, are without injured loose forward Ben Harrison, who misses his first match of the season.

Catalan have scrum-half Scott Dureau back but are without Damien Blanch.

The winger joins Thomas Bosc, Lopini Paea, Jamal Fakir, Cyrille Gossard and Vincent Duport on the injury list.

Dureau returns after being forced to make a last-minute withdrawal before last weekend’s 22-10 home defeat by Salford.

Australian full-back Clint Greenshields will make his 100th Super League appearance for the Dragons, the first non-Frenchman to reach that landmark.

Twelth-placed Catalan’s two Super League wins this season have both come away from home.

But leaders Warrington have amassed 146 points in winning all their three home games, the last of them that stunning, record-breaking 82-6 win against Harlequins on 20 March.

Warrington twice put Catalan to the sword last season, winning 40-6 at the Halliwell Jones in April before storming to a nine-try 54-12 Challenge Cup semi-final win at the Stobart Stadium, Widnes in August.

But that came just a fortnight after the Frenchmen stunned Tony Smith’s side 29-28 in Perpignan – so Warrington will be on their guard.

Warrington coach Tony Smith told BBC Radio Merseyside:

“Catalans are improving and we’ve suffered defeat to them in the past, so we’ll be reminded of that as well.

“They are a good team. They have some big and talented players and have not been far off in a lot of their games this year, only one or two things have gone against them in areas that make the score line look lopsided.

“If you’ve got commitment and hard work, it doesn’t matter if you’re at the top or at the bottom, it makes you hard to play against. You’re always proud as a coach and as a player if you’ve got those things on your side.”
