It appears that superstar Todd Carney will be playing on Saturday. If so this should be a very entertaining game, even though Catalans will be without their live wire hooker Eloi Pelissier, who is suspended.

The combination of Scott Dureau and Todd Carney has the potential, once they get several games together under their belts, to be the best halves pairing in Super League.

Warrington on the other hand have the best front row in the Super League, with Ashton Sims, Darryl Clark, and Christopher Hill.

Warrington are favourites of the French crowd, because the Wire usually comes in numbers to Perpignan.

Overall we can expect an entertaining game between two closely matched rivals. Lucky for all the English fans that this game is on Sky at 2pm London time.

I want this to be the place for discussing the match before and when it starts on Saturday afternoon, and after it ends. One thread for six games is ridiculous.

Other websites have a thread for each game pinned for a week on their general forum.

Will actually be interesting to see how he 3 WCC teams go on this week and the next few after it.

France away is never easy, the week after playing an NRL team makes it even tougher. Saints at home vs a winless team....Saints could come out and play with a point to prove after Sunday....or they could be feeling sorry for themselves and get turned over by a Cas team whose had an extra week to prepare.

I think at least one of the 3 WCC teams will get beaten this weekend in games I would fancy them in in normal circumstances.

Another day another game discussion on the virtual terrace from Capdouze.

Two glaring errors on your post there Barry McKenzie, you're slipping. Get it sorted.

superstar Todd Carney..bless, ask him out for a date.

Beware!

If Todd Carney rang and said "Do you fancy coming out on the ?" he might mean literally.

When Carney asks his mates if they want to come out for a p*ss up.....it must worry them.

Surely that's Toddney Carney and Scottford Dureau?

The powerful squad selected to confront Warrington:

1 Morgan Escaré
2 Vincent Duport
3 Ben Pomeroy
4 Willie Tonga
5 Michael Oldfield
6 Todd Carney
7 Scott Dureau
9 Ian Henderson
10 Rémi Casty
11 Zeb Taia
12 Louis Anderson
13 Greg Mounis
15 Jeff Lima
17 Elliott Whitehead
18 Benjamin Garcia
20 Damien Cardace
21 Julian Bousquet
23 Antoni Maria
24 Jason Baitieri

I think Jean would enjoy that more than the drinking tbf.

Bad piece of commentary there! "Daryl Clark fitted in with this Catalans team." Didn't last long at Warrington then?

Warrington making more ground in possession.

Warrington halves need to be loaned out to a Championship side.

If Carney can stay on the pitch he will be MoS by a mile this year.

I agree.

Have to say that Carney has been excellent in the first half. Warrington have been dire though.

Carney has kicked really well. Warrington have been very lazy in defence and are making far too many errors.

Warrington are lucky that Catalans have made so many mistakes with passes (Tonga throws into touch, two other players throw forward passes, three bad offloads to Warrington) otherwise it would be 30-0 by now.

Catalans have been ok but the story of the half is how poor, lethargic and soft Warrington have looked. If you look past Daryl Clark and Chris Hill, the Wire team doesn't really look that impressive.

Warrington must do better in the second half. But with their Championship quality halves I cannot see them winning this game, nor too many this year.

Just goes to show what backing up against an NRL team does to you.

If Wigan, Warrington or Saints were playing in the NRL, they would be in trouble this week.

As for Carney, hardly a super star. But a decent signing.
