THE PREDICTION
Salford will give a debut to Kallum Watkins after the club signed the England centre to boost their options after his move to Toronto fell through. He will give them a major lift although it will take some time to get up to speed. They face the Catalans at St Helens’ Totally Wicked Stadium and they welcome back Sam Moa, Micky McIlorum and Josh Drinkwater for this game. They went down 28-12 against Wigan Warriors last weekend but they will be fired up here as they enjoy this competition after winning it back in 2018. Their form prior to that game has been strong and they will be confident of winning in what should be a high-scoring game. Over the eighty minutes, they should outscore the Red Devils and progress to the semis.
