Dureau misses Leeds clash

Catalan will be without playmaker Scott Dureau for Friday’s clash against Leeds after he picked up an injury in the Challenge Cup win at Leigh.

Dureau, 24, has been a pivotal figure in the Dragons recent run which has brought wins against Wigan, Warrington and Huddersfield, lifting them in to the top eight.

The Australian joins a lengthening injury list for the Dragons, which already includes full back Clint Greenshields, back-rower Steve Menzies and centre Daryl Millard.

Head Coach Trent Robinson has been boosted, however, by the return of Setaimata Sa, who has recovered from injury and is named in their 19-man squad.

Youngsters Mathias Pala and William Barthau are also included, but Ben Farrar and Remi Casty join Dureau on the sidelines.

Vincent Duport, Lopini Paea and Cyrille Gossard also remain out injured.

Catalan 19-man squad v Leeds: Blanch, Sa, Stacul, Bosc, Ferriol, Henderson, Raguin, Mounis, Gigot, Baile, Barthau, Vaccari, Simon, Martins, Fakir, Baitieri, Pelissier, Pala, Touxagas.
