Injuries rule Aiton and Casty out of Catalans squad

Correspondent

Laurent Frayssinous has not been able to name Remi Casty and Paul Aiton in his squad for Saturday’s game with Hull FC due to injury.

The Dragons will be without their starting hooker and captain for their first home game of the season at the Stade Gilbert Brutus, with the hope they can get their first victory of the season after a 12-6 loss to Wigan on the opening weekend.

Laurent Frayssinous has named U19 hooker Alrix Da Costa in the squad for the first time as a replacement for Aiton and could make his first appearance for the Dragons from the bench on Saturday.
