Catalans Dragons vs Huddersfield Giants team news with loan man set for debut

Catalans Dragons V Huddersfield Giants

Huddersfield Giants will look to get their second win in as many matches this weekend, but they face a tough task as they travel to Perpignan to take on Catalans Dragons. 

The Giants stunned Sam Burgess’ Warrington Wolves on Saturday, as two tries from Jacob Gagai helped them to achieve their second win of the league season. 

For Catalans, interim head coach Joel Tomkins is without a win in his first four games at the helm. Overall, the Dragons haven’t won since the end of April, but this is a game that they will feel is a must-win. 

Huddersfield Giants Team News: 

Luke Robinson has made two changes to the initial 21 ahead of the trip to the south of France. 

First, Oliver Wilson, who is managing a small issue, misses out in favour of young forward Fenton Rogers. The 21-year-old will be looking to make his eighth league appearance of the season. 

Sam Hewitt failed a HIA in the win over Warrington. He is replaced by utility back Aidan McGowan. 

On-loan halfback Matt Frawley retains his place in the side, after joining from Leeds Rhinos last week. 

Huddersfield Giants 21-man squad: Jacob Gagai, Jake Bibby, Sam Halsall, Tui Lolohea, Zac Woolford, Tom Burgess, Harry Rushton, Ashton Golding, Matty English, George King, Joe Greenwood, Fenton Rogers, Leroy Cudjoe, Tristan Powell, Taane Milne, Aidan McGowan, Kieran Rush, Connor Carr, George Flanagan Jr, Jack Bibby, Matt Frawley. 

Catalans Dragons Team News: 

Les Dracs have only been able to name a 19-man squad this week, with injuries and suspensions hampering their squad selection. 

Denive Balmforth, who joined on a season-long loan from Hull FC this week, is in line to make his Dragons debut. 

Chris Satae and Ben Garcia are both suspended, whilst Arthur Romano, Mattheiu Laguerre, Reimis Smith, Tariq Sims and Theo Fages are all still in the medical room.  

Catalans Dragons 19-man squad: Sam Tomkins, Tommy Makinson, Nick Cotric, Luke Keary, Tevita Pangai Jr, Julian Bousquet, Oliver Partington, Alrix Da Costa, Romain Navarette, Bayley Sironen, Cesar Rouge, Paul Seguier, Jordan Dezaria, Fouad Yaha, Franck Maria, Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet, Clement Martin, Leo Darrelatour, Denive Balmforth.
