Catalans Dragons v Hull FC squad news as decision made on Jordan Rapana

Hull FC

The last fixture of Super League round 13 sees Catalans Dragons v Hull FC in Perpignan, and the squad news is in.

The Dragons head into the match on the back of four straight losses in a disappointing May schedule.

After an unbeaten run in April, Catalans have also been nilled in their last two Super League games against St Helens and then Wigan Warriors last week.

Points on the board will be a huge aim for interim coach Joel Tomkins, as well as the two points in the table.

Hull FC’s win against Leigh Leopards last Thursday meant they brought an end to their four-game losing streak.

They head to the south of France full of optimism in front of a healthy travelling support.

A win for the Black and Whites would give them a five-point advantage over the Dragons in the table between seventh and eighth position, with Warrington Wolves the only other team able to close the gap this weekend.

The squads are in, and here’s the team news for Catalans Dragons v Hull FC.
