49 - Magic pass from Field. Floats a beaut no-looker for Adam Keighran to run onto and score against his former club. Smith makes it 18-8 from out wide.

45 - Harry Smith with an old school chip and chase. Garry Schofield will be loving that. Saw there was no full-back at home and off he went. Converts for a 12-8 lead.

36 - Smith grubber and Mago thinks he’s over but ruled not to have got it down under pressure from Nikorima. One of those where if it’d had gone up with no on-field decision a try would probably have been given. 6-8

Abbas Miski drops from a 20m restart. Love to know how many errors that is from Wigan, now. Luckily for them, Catalans aren't too slick either. 6-8

27 - But Thompson is over, sparking Wigan into life bursting through Mike McMeeken from 10m out and just doing enough to see off Mourgue’s attempted tackle. Smith makes it 6-8

21 - Yet another Wigan error, Brad O’Neill spilling this time, and Catalans are over. Bousquet spinning out of a tackle from close range. Soft try. Mourgue makes it 0-8

Liam Byrne straight back in after his ban for Wigan Warriors and a welcome return for Jordan Abdull with Catalans Dragons.

Perfect conditions. Almost like summer is here early….(thunderstorms by half-time).

'I’m looking forward to it. It’ll be exciting for me. But after a performance like that [Hull KR], it’d just be good to turn it around and get back on track. We need to do that.'

Speedy recovery to Warrington Wolves' Leon Hayes. Always awful seeing players suffer horrendous injuries like today.
Hayes was enjoying a terrific start to his Super League career. Spoke to him only last week for this piece. Sure he'll be back firing.

“I’m gutted for Leon [Hayes]. He’s in hospital. It’s definitely a dislocation + probably fracture. He’s in good spirits. He’s probably more disappointed with the loss which shows a lot about his character.”

'The simple way of putting it is there was a respectful, mature decision between two clubs + that’s as far as it went. They + I came to the conclusion I’m happy. I value happiness + we left it at that.'
