Warrington Wolves and Catalans Dragons have named their sides for tonight\u2019s Super League clash, which will kick off Round 16.<\/p>\n

Wire go into the game on the back of a disappointing display against Leeds Rhinos, where they lost 38-6. Catalans, meanwhile, overcame Bradford Bulls in the Perpignan heat, as John Cartwright earned his third win in four games as Dragons boss.<\/p>\n

This game is the third consecutive week the Wolves have played on a Thursday, however Les Dracs go into this one on a five-day turnaround and of course, have all the travel to contend with too.<\/p>\n

The 17\u2019s have been confirmed for tonight\u2019s game, with both sides being forced into changes due to injuries picked up last time out.<\/p>\n

Warrington Wolves v Catalans Dragons line-ups<\/p>\n

Starting with the home side, Max Wood goes straight into the team after returning from a loan spell at Hull FC. He replaces Toafofoa Sipley, who picked up an ankle issue in the defeat to Leeds.<\/p>\n

Just as Burgess said in the week,<\/a> Ewan Irwin and Leon Hayes will again partner each other in the halves, leaving no room for veteran Marc Sneyd.<\/p>\n

James Harrison moves from back row to loose forward, with Ben Currie switching with the ex-Leeds and Featherstone man.<\/p>\n

Les Dracs have replaced the injured Tommy Makinson with Lenny Marc on the wing, whilst Ben Garcia returns at loose forward.<\/p>\n

Those are the only two changes to the squad, with the bench staying the same as last week.<\/p>\n
