Catalans are without seven (7) of their seventeen (17) first choice players, including six (6) first choice forwards. The injured first choice players are: Samuel Moa, Michael McIlorum, Mickael Simon, Benjamin Garcia, Benjamin Jullien, Gregory Bird, and David Mead. Plus winger Jodie Broughton is also injured.
If Catalans with all these great players unavailable can still manage to beat Leeds then Catalans will surely have a good chance of being in the top five (5), and thereby have a shot of meeting St Helens at Old Trafford.
