Preview
Catalans Dragons are still without stand-off Adam Mogg, who damaged an abductor in the warm-up at Wigan, and centre Jason Croker and prop Jérôme Guisset were injured in that match so coach Kevin Walters brings in Cyril Stacul, Vincent Duport and Kane Bentley as replacements.
Harlequins RL are set to give a debut to 18-year-old French junior international stand-off Tony Gigot in the absence of Danny Orr, who has a knee injury. Hooker Chad Randall misses his first match for more than three years, also because of a knee problem, and, with Daniel Heckenberg nursing a groin injury, David Howell suspended and Joe Mbu and Luke Williamson staying in London to attend the birth of their children, young Londoners Jamie O'Callaghan, Dylan Skee, Luke May and Dave Williams are also included in Brian McDermott's squad.
Jason Golden returns from a two-match absence with an ankle injury.
