CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons enjoyed a historic campaign last year but they fell short in the Grand Final as they were edged by St. Helens in a war of attrition in the Old Trafford showpiece but they have laid the foundations for another strong season.
- Having claimed the League Leaders’ Shield, the French side will be looking to repeat that feat while achieving to go one better in the play-offs and they have made some shrewd moves as they bid to kick on with the addition of Mitchell Pearce arguably the best off-season signing in the competition.
21-man squad: 2 Tom Davies, 3 Samisoni Langi, 4 Dean Whare, 5 Fouad Yaha, 6 Mitchell Pearce, 7 Josh Drinkwater, 8 Gil Dudson, 9 Micky McIlorum, 10 Julian Bousquet, 11 Matt Whitley, 12 Mike McMeeken, 13 Ben Garcia, 14 Alrix Da Costa, 17 Mickael Goudemand, 18 Matthieu Laguerre, 20 Tyrone May, 22 Dylan Napa, 23 Jordan Dezaria, 27 Joe Chan, 28 Sam Kasiano, 29 Sam Tomkins

THE PREDICTION
In a repeat of last season’s Grand Final, St. Helens will host Catalans Dragons in what is a mouth-watering prospect to get the new Super League season underway. Saints have now won the title in the last three years and will take some beating once again, although the French outfit are likely to be hot on their heels having pushed them all the way in 2021. Both teams are capable of prevailing here but with early season jitters and caginess likely to be evident, this should be a low-scoring affair that goes under the total points line of 36.5.
