Dragons v Saints: Teams

Leon Pryce looks set to make his first competitive appearance since July 31 of last year after being included in St Helens' squad for Saturday.

The England international has overcome a groin injury after seeing his 2010 campaign cut short by a neck problem.

His return is a timely boost for Saints, who were beaten in front of their own fans - albeit at their temporary Stobart Stadium home in Widnes - by Warrington for the first time in 23 games last Friday.

They have also lost the corresponding fixture in each of the Dragons' first three seasons in Super League, including a 21-0 defeat in 2007.

And assistant coach Kieron Purtill has warned his players to expect another tough encounter, particularly now the Dragons are off the mark this season following their win over Hull KR last Sunday.

"Going over to Perpignan is never easy," he said. "It will be a tough, physical game and we need to go over with the right mentality.

"Catalan have not had a great start to the season and then they had a fantastic win last week at Hull KR.

"They brought in a lot of players in the off season, along with a new coach, and they're probably taking a bit of time to settle."

While Pryce is back, Saints are without Sia Soliola due to an ankle knock. The centre joins team-mates Josh Perry and Gary Wheeler on the sidelines.

Dragons coach Trent Robinson keeps the side that broke their duck for the season with victory at Hull KR, with Clint Greenshields, Thomas Bosc and Vincent Duport still on the casualty list.

Catalans squad: Blanch, Farrar, Sa, Stacul, Dureau, Ferriol, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Raguin, Mounis, Gigot, Gossard, Millard, Simon, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Pelissier.

Saints squad: Wellens, Gardner, Shenton, Meli, Pryce, Eastmond, Roby, Graham, Puletua, Wilkin, Flannery, Moore, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Clough, Dixon, Lomax, Magennis, Foster, Gaskell.
