THE TEAM NEWS
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons highlighted their title credentials with a superb second half fightback to overcome Leeds Rhinos last week and extend their brilliant club-record winning streak to nine league matches.
- The Dragons trailed 2-18 at the break but blew their opponents away with 25 unanswered points in the second half to solidify their position at the top of Super League and they will look to take their winning run to double-figures here.
21-man squad: Bousquet, Chan, Da Costa, Davies, Dezaria, Drinkwater, Dudson, Franco, Garcia, Goudemand, Jullien, Kasiano, Langi, McMeeken, Mourgue, Rouge, Seguier, S. Tomkins, Whare, Whitley, Yaha

HULL KR
- It has been a long time between drinks for Hull KR who will make their long-awaited return to action having not featured since a win in the middle of June against Wigan Warriors.
- That was a third straight win for Rovers and they will be desperate for that momentum to continue here but their lack of playing time and preparation for this clash could cause them some issues.
21-man squad: Abdull, Crooks, Hadley, Hall, Johnson, Keinhorst, Kenny-Dowall, King, Lawler, Linnett, Litten, Maher, Milnes, Minikin, Mustapha, Parcell, Quinlan, Sims, Storton, Takairangi, Vete
Unavailable: Elliot Minchella, Ethan Ryan

THE PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons showed another side to their game last week when
they overturned a 16-point half-time deficit to see off Leeds Rhinos and
make it nine successive Super League wins. They will look to extend
their lead at the top of the table as they host Hull KR in this
rearranged game. Rovers stepped in when Castleford Tigers pulled out
owing to COVID-19 issues in their camp and while they have won their
last three, the Red and Whites have not played for over a month so this
is far from an ideal game to return. Catalans have been superb for a
sustained period now and they can prevail once again here with Rovers
likely to find it tough going in the south of France.
