Saints should slay the lame dragons

Betfred Super League
3pm Sunday

Last season's Grand Final runners-up Warrington face a battle for their Super League status after Huddersfield's win over Leigh on Friday consigned the Wolves to a bottom-eight finish.

The Giants' 24-8 victory means that the make-up of the Super 8s is already decided despite there being another round of fixtures next week.

Warrington will be joined in the Qualifiers by Leigh, Widnes and Catalans, who complete round 22 with a trip to St Helens on Sunday.

After an underwhelming start to the campaign, Saints have improved under the guidance of new coach Justin Holbrook and lie only five points behind the top four and a semi-final spot.

In contrast, a change of coach is yet to have the desired effect for Catalans, who have really struggled in recent weeks.

The Dragons are given a 12-point buffer by the layers on the handicap but that shouldn't be enough to keep the Saints at bay.

Catalans have lost their last seven away games by an average margin of 25 points and look up against it again.
