ST. HELENS
- St. Helens moved a step closer to landing a fifth successive Super League title as they overcame the challenge of Warrington Wolves in their first play-off encounter last week.
- Saints were guilty of being a little wasteful with the ball but still got the job done to make it a superb 10 consecutive wins to maintain their excellent run of form.
21-man squad: 1. Jack Welsby, 2. Tommy Makinson, 3. Will Hopoate, 4. Mark Percival, 5. Jon Bennison, 6. Jonny Lomax, 7. Lewis Dodd, 8. Alex Walmsley, 9. James Roby, 10. Matty Lees, 11.

THE PREDICTION
Catalans Dragons enjoyed the week off thanks to finishing second during the regular season and will hope that pays dividends as they take on reigning champions St. Helens for a spot in the Grand Final. Saints are the form team of the competition having won all of their last 10 matches but this will not be an easy trip. Catalans have named a very strong squad and coming into this refreshed as well as proving to be formidable on home soil, the French side are favoured to end Saints’ hopes of landing a fifth straight Super League title.
