THE TEAM NEWS

CATALANS DRAGONS

  • Catalans Dragons suffered their first loss of the campaign as they produced an underwhelming effort in their clash with Leeds Rhinos that was not helped by their lack of discipline.
  • They lost three players to yellow cards in that contest but they have been able to name the same 21-man squad for this fixture with Mike McMeeken back in contention following his late withdrawal last week.

21-MAN SQUAD: Mourgue, Davies, Romano, Laguerre, Yaha, Nikorima, Fages, McMeeken, Bousquet, Sims, Seguier, Garcia, Da Costa, Sironen, Navarrete, Satae, Ikuvalu, Dezaria, Johnstone, Abdull, Maria

HULL FC

  • Hull FC needed a late try to get off the mark for the season but their win over London Broncos only served to paper over the cracks of what was an extremely poor performance.
  • The Black and Whites are lacking any guidance around the park and while Herman Ese’ese returns from suspension to bolster the pack here, they have lost Jack Brown to a ban of his own.

21-MAN SQUAD: Hoy, Tuimavave, McIntosh, F. Brown, Ese’ese, Houghton, Okunbor, Sao, Lane, Ashworth, Smith, Gardiner, Litten, Staveley, Martin, Balmforth, Severs, Walker, Charles, Russell, Bullock

THE PREDICTION

Catalans Dragons will be aiming to right the wrongs of last week’s effort against Leeds Rhinos as they take on Hull FC. The hosts fell to a first loss of the season in that game but will fancy their chances of producing a big response here. The away side needed a last-gasp try to overcome newly-promoted London Broncos and while they will feel some relief from that success, it is only likely to be short-lived joy with the hosts able to run rampant here.

TIP: CATALANS DRAGONS -20
