CATALANS DRAGONS host St Helens on Friday night at the Stade Gilbert Brutus.
The Dragons have encountered a difficult patch in recent weeks, losing three of their last four games – though Steve McNamara’s men do still sit inside the top four.
Saints, meanwhile, are slowly creeping up the Super League table following an indifferent start to the 2023 season, sitting in fifth following a big win over Warrington last time out.
Team news
Catalans head coach Steve McNamara is likely to give a debut to new signing Matt Ikuvalu with the likes of Michael McIlorum, Tyrone May and Matthieu Laguerre still injured.
Saints, meanwhile, will still be without the injured Mark Percival and Sione Mata’utia whilst Lewis Dodd, Curtis Sironen, Tommy Makinson and Matty Lees face late fitness checks but Alex Walmsley returns!
