[John Drake 5,852]

Discuss Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons here.

[Chronicler of Chiswick 955]

Given the Cats erratic form, a tricky one but I'll say Wire by 6.

[Futtocks 14,567]

Wire v Good Catalans - Catalans win.

Wire v Bad Catalans - Wire spank them hard.

[ELBOWSEYE 830]

Ratchford rested and widdop returns otherwise same squad. 

[snapski 966]

The roulette of which of the 3 teams gets the home game this week is Wire. Absolute nonsense. 

[DavidM 9,999]

Wire by 16

There's a global pandemic on. It's bad enough subjecting players and officials to the small risk of contracting COVID-19, without sending them to Wheldon Road or Belle Vue and risking them getting cholera or Spanish Flu too.

They’re on the 100th wave by now.

Drama in the south of France where

@DragonsOfficiel

players are currently jumping in their cars and driving to Toulouse to meet their plane after it was prevented by strong winds from landing in Perpignan. They are due to kick-off at 6pm in Warrrington

 

25 minutes ago Super League/Sky have no plans to switch tonight's fixtures around. The Dragons are thought to be boarding a flight fairly soon so should land in Liverpool between 3-4pm. Might be tight.

Just swap the games around, it’s not rocket science

Depends how soon the other teams arrive though. Wakefield have to jump on the 62 pronto to make it for 6

So have Warrington V Wigan first then Cats V Wakey, it's all a shambles so what's the problem with that, or does it upset the Pizza orders

[yipyee 935]

Does anyone know is the game going ahead? 

Are the players in the country yet?

Are the other teams able to get to the ground early

We haven't given Phil Clarke enough time to prepare his partisan poetry.

"Eddeh, a little-known fact is that Wigan are the best side in Super League at playing a match two hours earlier than originally scheduled.."

While it's not ideal what would you suggest?

This is all a bit fishy. No scheduled direct flights from Perpignan to Liverpool today. No flight from Paris due in to either LPL or Manchester if they were connecting.

Do they have their own privately chartered aircraft these days?

Yes, Catalans always charter a plane to games.

Gausch pays for it all apparently. £50k each time.

Loganair flight LM840 from Toulouse landed in Liverpool about 45 minutes ago according to flightradar.

That's more than enough time from Liverpool. They'll even get the chance to pop into the Lord Rodney, as long as they sit in the beer garden 6 to a table. And don't let Joel Tomkins do the ordering at the bar.
