Leigh vs Dragons: Match Preview
SUPER LEAGUE | ROUND 22
LEIGH LEOPARDS vs DRAGONS CATALANS
LEIGH SPORTS VILLAGE
SATURDAY 19 AUGUST | 4PM CET
The context
Catalans Dragons travel to Leigh Leopards in the Super League Round 22, kick-off at 4pm CET at the Leigh Sports Village.
A top-of-the-table clash awaits the Dragons over the Leopards, currently 4th with the same number of points than Wigan and St Helens.
Steve McNamara's men are on a fine run of 9 wins from 10 League games and are ready to take on the recent Challenge Cup winners at Wembley last weekend.
Another win would help Catalans to consolidate their position at the top of the Super League and move a step closer to a potential semi-final at home.
The squad
Steve McNamara has named his squad to face the Leopards.
Arthur Mourgue, Mike McMeeken and Matthieu Laguerre are back in the squad and replace Matt Ikuvalu, Bastien Scimone and Tanguy Zenon.
