Preview

Betfred Super League champions St Helens have looked in ominous form in the opening weeks of the season and head to the south of France on Saturday seeking a seventh successive win.

The Saints have been scoring points with their usual freedom but their watertight defence has been the most impressive trait of their perfect start to the campaign.

Kristian Woolf's men have conceded just 34 points in six league outings and registered their second shutout of the season in beating Salford on Monday.

However, Saturday's visit to face Catalans promises to be their toughest assignment yet, especially as the Dragons are running hot in attack themselves.

Catalans have scored the joint-most points (164) in Super League this season and look as if they could emerge as dark horses to win this year's Grand Final.

To do so they will have to improve their record against Super League's top teams but they were extremely impressive against Hull last time out and could be a bet to stay within six points of the champions.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Castleford visit their coach Daryl Powell's future employers Warrington in a ding-dong contest which looks extremely tough to call, while Wigan look to preserve their 100 per cent start to the season at Salford.
