STEVE MCNAMARA has hinted that there could be two new faces – well, one rather old – in the Catalans Dragons side for their Super League fixture against Hull FC on Saturday night.
With Dolphins prop forward Jarrod Wallace joining the French club as a replacement for the sacked Siosiua Taukeiaho and former Catalans veteran Sam Tomkins coming out of retirement, there could be a new look to the Dragons side for that fixture.
And, it’s perhaps fair to say that Catalans need fresh blood given their disappointing 24-18 loss to Castleford Tigers at the weekend.
The Dragons trailed 18-0 at one stage before clawing their way back to level at 18-18. However, a late Tex Hoy try condemned the Dragons to defeat.
And, McNamara was asked about Wallace and Tomkins in his post-match press conference at The Jungle on Sunday.
“Potentially they will come in, we will wait and see how the week pans out as it is a short turnaround to get back to France,” McNamara said.
“We will see when Jarrod arrives and what kind of shape he is in before making a decision and we will see how Sam trains.”
