« The last time we fought was when we played at home – we didn’t play quite as well as we wanted – so we want to remedy this this time. »

« It’s the current champion in this week and we have Wigan the week after. We all know the schedule, but the focus is on this week and on playing well again. « 

The Catalans know that they are proud against St. Helens on their defense, need to be at their best. They haven’t conceded more than two tries this season and have conceded two goals after beating Hull KR 25-0 and Salford 28-0.

The Saints will go to Stade Gilbert Brutus that day and right after that Leave the final whistle but have to undergo a quarantine period on their return.

Morgan Knowles, who made his comeback on Monday after a thumb injury against Salford, says the team are ready for a quick turn.

« We have talked as a group and it’s kind of a smash-and-grab mentality – hop on, hop off, and do the job! « Knowles told Saints TV.

 » This is probably going to be the biggest game we play had so far. The [Catalans] have done very well this year, so we expect a tough fight. « 

The Catalans pushed Gil Dudson back from suspension, replacing front rower Jason Baitieri, who was injured in the Hull win.

St . Helens will remain unchanged from the team that played the double against Salford. Jack Welsby remains in the three-quarters in the absence of injured England international Tom Makinson.
