Wigan boss Matty Peet knows there’s little chance of Catalans freezing on Thursday - even given the inclement weather.
Temperatures are expected to drop to -3 degrees when the action gets underway at DW Stadium with snow and sleet thrown in for good measure. It’s a far cry to what unbeaten Catalans are more used to in the south of France. But Peet isn’t expecting the wintry blast to do his side any favours.
He said: “We went to Perpignan this time last year and it was torrential rain. And we had our backsides handed to us by Catalans (28-0). They’ll more than fancy their chances with the weather.”
