Match preview

Catalans Dragons were the talk of the Betfred Super League on the eve of the 2020 season as they announced the controversial signing of Australian cross-code international Israel Folau.

The Dragons will be without their hotly-debated new back for their season-opener against Huddersfield but playmaker James Maloney will make his debut for the French outfit.

A two-time NRL winner, Maloney steered New South Wales to a second State of Origin series win in 2019 and is favourite to be crowned Man of Steel in his first season in Super League.

The Aussie could be the missing link Catalans need to bring out the best of a talented backline which could be too strong for the Giants, who will be without centre Jordan Turner and Tom Holmes in Perpignan after the pair picked up bans in pre-season.

Back the Dragons to triumph by up to two converted scores on their opening night.
