Saints are in France again on Saturday as we face Catalans Dragons in the Betfred Super League at the Stade Gilbert Brutus with kick off at 5pm (UK Time) and we have all the pre-match information for you right here.
BACKGROUND…
Another defeat for the Dragons may have raised some questions about their title credentials this year. Of course, the Dragons can beat anyone when they’re at their best – but that hasn’t been as often this season. They have a great chance to lay down a significant marker against the current league leaders on Saturday although it won’t be easy.
It’s a massively important three-week period coming up for St Helens. We face the other three top four sides over the next three rounds, starting with a trip to the South of France on Saturday – and three wins for the Champions could all but confirm top spot.
