SINCE Catalans Dragons joined Super League in 2006, Warrington Wolves’ record for trips to face them is distinctly mixed.
Saturday’s clash at the Stade Gilbert Brutus will be The Wire’s 21st crossing of the Channel to Les Dracs and in the previous 20, they have won 10 and lost 10.
Their first and last trips to Perpignan both ended in wins – Paul Cullen’s men won 44-16 at the Stade Aime Giral in their first away game against the Dragons in May 2006 while Wolves won 24-8 behind closed doors at the Brutus last year.

One of Warrington’s away victories against Catalans came on Spanish soil – a 24-12 win at Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium in June 2009.
