Warrington Wolves Cement Title Ambitions with Catalans Triumph
Warrington Wolves underlined their Super League title credentials with a hard-fought victory against the Catalans Dragons in Perpignan. The Wire showcased both their defensive resilience and clinical finishing, weathering immense pressure from the hosts before delivering the decisive blow.
The result continues an impressive season for the Wolves, who are challenging for silverware on multiple fronts. One of the key cogs in their winning machine, 20-year-old Matty Nicholson, has been linked with a potential move to the NRL in recent days.
“He’ll make the right decision at the right time, but for now, he’s enjoying his work,” Burgess said. “He’s got ambition and I respect that. If he is going to go that way, we’ll send him in the best shape possible and with the most experience possible, but he’s a wonderful player.”
Burgess is confident that Nicholson will continue to develop with every game, and believes the Warrington squad is ready to step up should he depart for the NRL. “If he does go, the NRL would be getting a great player and for us, it would be next man up.”
The victory against the Catalans has seen Warrington move level on points with St Helens at the top of the Super League table, with nine wins from their opening 12 matches. They now face a crucial period, with two back-to-back fixtures against Wigan Warriors – a top-of-the-table clash followed by the Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
Nicholson is expected to feature prominently in these season-defining encounters, and if he is indeed planning a move to the NRL, he will be keen to add more silverware to his collection before his potential departure.
