Opposition Watch

It will be the third meeting between the Wire and the Dragons this season with Catalans coming out on top on both occassions so far.

Steve McNamara's side saw off a late fightback at The Halliwell Jones Stadium in Round 4 to win 24-18 and secured a 40-8 win in the reverse fixture.

It will be the first meeting between the teams at Magic Weekend.

The Dragons sit third in the table and narrowly beat league leaders St Helens 20-18 last Saturday.

Catalans have been hit with some key suspensions however, with Dylan Napa, Sam Kasiano and Michael McIlorum all serving match bans.
