Preview
Super League heads to France for Catalans’ clash with Hull KR, as the French side look to continue their quest for a top-four finish and Rovers aim to gather some momentum ahead of next season.
The Dragons will be without Josh Drinkwater, Matt Whitley and Arthur Romano in Perpignan with Alrix Da Costa and Paul Seguier both returning in a 20-man squad.
The Robins could hand debuts to Rowan Milnes and George King, with Matty Storton returning from injury. Greg Minikin and Robbie Mulhern drop out.

This Dragons simply need to keep winning if they are to secure a top-four finish and will be expected to take the two points on Friday night.

These two have played out some close games in recent seasons, making this an intriguing encounter.
