Thursday's match previews

Injuries are piling up for Leeds Rhinos and the Catalans Dragons can add to their pain at Headingley in the Betfred Super League on Thursday.

The Rhinos have lost both of their opening fixtures and are set to be without David Fusitu’a, Richie Myler, Ash Handley, Harry Newman and Rhyse Martin for this contest.

To their credit they started well against Wigan last week but ran out of steam in a 34-12 defeat.

The Dragons have also made a stuttering start having won one and lost one, while they also look set to be without a host of key men.

Dylan Napa, Gil Dudson, Julian Bousquet, Arthur Mourge and Mickael Goudemand will all be missing for the French raiders, who have won their last four league meetings with Leeds.

Just four of the last ten league meetings have featured winning margins of more than 12 points and the visitors are fancied to edge another victory over the Rhinos.

Wigan and Huddersfield are two of five sides to have 100 per cent records but the Warriors can cut the Giants down to size once more having won eight of the last ten league meetings.

Sam Powell bagged two tries from hooker for Wigan in last week's win over Leeds and he looks a touch of value to continue his scoring run.
