Thursday 22nd October, 18:15, Super League Round 17, Stade Gilbert Brutus, Perpignan, Catalans Dragons versus Hull FC Match Preview
The top four is very much in Catalans’ sight whose last three victories have seen them amount over 100 points. The French side have also reaped the rewards of the points percentage per game ruling as they have won two less games than Warrington, but sit above them in the table. Hull, meanwhile, sit in sixth following a 48-6 drubbing of Castleford at the weekend, though inconsistency has plagued the Black-and-Whites’ season.
