Tyler Dupree loan status clarified ahead of Wigan Warriors' trip to Toulouse Olympique
Tyler Dupree will be able to line up for Toulouse Olympique in games against his parent club Wigan Warriors this season, Wigan Today understands.
The 26-year-old has played in all three of Toulouse’s Super League games so far in 2026, having joined the French club on a season-long loan deal from Wigan in the off-season.
Dupree has started all three matches in the front-row for Toulouse, helping Sylvain Houles’ side pick up two wins from three games in their first season back in the top-flight since 2022.
This weekend, the England international will line up against some of his old Wigan teammates, with Toulouse hosting the Warriors at the Stade Ernest-Wallon on Saturday evening.
There had been some questions raised by fans as to whether Dupree would be allowed to feature against his parent club while on loan, but Wigan Today understands that he will be able to play for Toulouse in games against Wigan this season.
Wigan head into Saturday’s Round Four clash as Super League’s only remaining unbeaten side, while Toulouse have made a good start to life back in the top-flight, with two wins from three.
Dupree has made a solid start to his Toulouse career, making an average of 97 metres, 15 carries and 22 tackles in his three games to date.
Wigan and Toulouse will name their 21-man squads on Thursday afternoon. For those not travelling across to the south of France this weekend, the game will be available to watch live on Sky Sports + Red Button and SuperLeague+ (5pm UK).
