Baile returns for Catalan

Jean-Philippe Baile returns from injury for his first appearance of the season as Catalan host Hull this weekend.

Head Coach Trent Robinson is still without skipper Greg Mounis through injury, while Cyril Stacul, Damien Blanch, Frederic Vaccari and Eloi Pelissier are also all sidelined.

The first Stobart Super League game in France this season will see home debuts handed to Leon Pryce, Louis Anderson and Ben Fisher, who recently joined the club on a two-month loan deal from Batley Bulldogs.

French international Baile, 24, scored eight tries in 22 appearances in Super League last season, and replaces William Barthau in the Dragons’ squad, the only change from last weekend’s win over Bradford.

Catalan 19-man squad: Greenshields, Pryce, Sa, Bosc, Dureau, Ferriol, Henderson, Casty, Menzies, Anderson, Raguin, Baile, Gossard, Millard, Fakir, Paea, Baitieri, Duport, Fisher.

Hull 19-man squad: Aspinwall, Briscoe, Ellis, Green, Horne, Houghton, Lynch, Manu, Martin, McKinnon, Moa, Nicklas, O’Meley, Sharp, Tickle, Turner, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman.
