Leeds Rhinos and Catalans Dragons have named their sides for this evening\u2019s Super League meeting in Perpignan.<\/p>\n

The game is the third and final fixture of a Super Saturday, with Leigh Leopards defeating Castleford Tigers earlier this afternoon. Wakefield Trinity and Hull KR are currently tied at 6-6 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Brad Arthur\u2019s side have failed to score at the Stade Gilbert Brutus on their last three visits, something they will hope to break this evening.<\/p>\n

Catalans come into this game on the back of a drubbing to French rivals Toulouse at Magic Weekend. The reports are that Dragons boss John Cartwright has signed a new deal at the club, so he will want to celebrate that new deal with a victory tonight.<\/p>\n
