The context

Catalans Dragons face St Helens on Saturday, September 4, in the Super League Magic Weekend, kick-off at 6.15pm CEST at St James’ Park, Newcastle.

Qualified for the Super League semi-finals after having beaten Leigh on Monday, the Dragons have the opportunity to do another impressive performance by beating the reigning champions.

A win for Steve McNamara's men at St James' Park against the runners-up would ensure them a position of leader at the end of the regular season, which means they would lift the League Leader's Shield title.
