Adrian Lam makes three changes for Wigan Warriors' clash with Catalans

Wigan Warriors will welcome back Morgan Smithies and captain Tommy Leuluai for the clash against Catalans Dragons.

Both players start for Adrian Lam's side in Perpignan while winger Umyla Hanley also takes his place in the side on the wing.

The injured Bevan French makes way along with Mitch Clark and Kai Pearce-Paul. Joe Shorrocks returns to the bench after playing centre last week.

Leuluai's return sees Harry Smith drop to the bench alongside Shorrocks. Joe Bullock and Liam Byrne also play from the bench.

French's absence means Zak Hardaker returns to fullback, where he will go head to head with former Warriors star Sam Tomkins, who returns for Catalans after missing the win against St Helens last week. Samisoni Langi also returns for the Dragons.

Dragons: S Tomkins, Davies, Whare, Langi, Laguerre, Maloney, Drinkwater, Bousquet, McIlorum, Dudson, McMeeken, Jullien, Garcia. Subs: Mourgue, Goudemand, J Tomkins, Kasiano.

Warriors: Hardaker, Manfredi, Bibby, Farrell, Hanley, Hastings, Leuluai, Singleton, Powell, Havard, Smithies, Bateman, Partington. Subs: Bullock, Byrne, Shorrocks, Smith.
