Preview: Wigan v Catalans (R22)

Winger Pat Richards will return to the Wigan Warriors side in place of fellow Australian Brett Dallas, whose knee injury makes him a doubt for the rest of the season.

Richards has struggled to make a mark at the JJB Stadium and has been left out in recent weeks. Centre Kris Radlinski is ruled out with further knee trouble, so David Vaealiki comes in.

Winger Bruno Verges misses out for Catalans Dragons. But 23-year-old prop Mathieu Griffi, who recently switched from sister club Union Treiziste Catalane, is again included in the squad.
