Dragons vs Warrington : Match Preview
SUPER LEAGUE | MAGIC WEEKEND
CATALANS DRAGONS vs WARRINGTON WOLVES
ST JAMES' PARK, NEWCASTLE
SUNDAY 10 JULY | 4.15pm CEST
The context
Catalans Dragons face Warrington Wolves on Sunday, July 10, in the Magic Weekend at St James' Park.
Sam Tomkins' teammates will be looking to confirm their impressive win over leaders St Helens last week and close the gap at the top of the Super League table. They will need to get the win against the Wolves, who have a difficult season, currently 10th in Super League.
With the big clash between St Helens and Wigan on Saturday, the Dragons could move back to two points of the leader if Wigan win or take the second place back if Saints win, provided that Catalans beat Warrington on Sunday at Newcastle.
It will be the first meeting between the two sides at a Magic Weekend.
