Super League February 6 St Helens vs Catalan Dragons KO 8PM GMT.
Champions Saints get their season under way tonight with the Dragons coming to Merseyside. Key man Luke Walsh is still recovering from injury and with a new coach I expect Saints to take a little time to gel. The ever frustrating and mercurial French side can call on the world class skills of Todd Carney this season and they look to have a strong squad this term. It's always a risk taking the Dragons on the road because on some occasions it looks as though they are going through the motions. However, a visit to the champions first up should have focused minds in the south of France and I expect them to keep it close tonight.
PICK CATALAN +9.5 @1.98 [Pinnacle].
