THE TEAM NEWS
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons disappointingly suffered a first loss of the season as they capitulated in the second half of their contest with Leeds Rhinos last week.
- The Dragons were ahead by 14 points at the break but allowed 24 unanswered points to succumb to defeat and while they suffered further injury woe in that game, they should have key man Sam Tomkins back in the fold here.
21-man squad: Mourgue, Davies, Keighran, Laguerre, Pearce, McMeeken, McIlorum, Bousquet, Whitley, Seguier, Garcia, Da Costa, Navarrete, Rouge, Chan, Romano, Dezaria, Johnstone, Scimone, Tomkins, Zenon
Unavailable: Fouad Yaha (Injured), Sio Siua Taukeiaho (Injured), Tyrone May (Injured), Mickael Goudemand (Injured), Manu Ma’u (Injured)
Questionable: Romain Navarrete, Sam Tomkins
CASTLEFORD TIGERS
- Castleford Tigers were unable to build on their first win of the season against Leeds Rhinos as they backed that up with a 0-38 loss to Warrington Wolves.
- The Tigers were architects of their own downfall in that contest and looked extremely poor on both sides of the ball with a ban for Adam Milner compounding matters.
21-man squad: Eden, Turner, Fonua, Faraimo, Widdop, Miller, Lawler, McShane, Griffin, Edwards, Mellor, Westerman, Massey, Sutcliffe, Broadbent, Vete, Mustapha, Smith, Matagi, Hookem, Qareqare
Unavailable: Danny Richardson (Injured), Niall Evalds (Injured), Liam Watts (Injured), Adam Milner (Suspended)
Questionable: George Lawler
THE PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons suffered a first loss of the campaign with it occurring in frustrating fashion and that will give them plenty of incentive to bounce back here. They fell to pieces in the second half of their game with Leeds Rhinos but opponents Castleford Tigers were woeful as they were nilled by Warrington Wolves and having won just one game all season, it is tough to see how the away side come away from this encounter with anything other than with a one-sided scoreline against them once again so back the Dragons to cover the -16 handicap.
