Catalans and Wakefield
preview

Kiwi Test legend Stacey Jones will make his eagerly-awaited comeback for the Catalans, after being given the all-clear to face Wakefield in Perpignan on Saturday.

The 30-year-old has not played since breaking his arm in the opening minutes of the Dragons� second match of the season at Salford on February 17 but X-rays showed the break has fully healed.

Jones whetted the appetite of the Dragons fans with a man-of-the-match performance in the 38-30 win against Wigan on the opening weekend of Super League XI and coach Mick Potter, who arrived at the club a month into the season, cannot wait to watch his little general in action.

�His calmness and experience will help us out, just his ability to push and pull the players around,� said Potter.

�I haven�t seen him play, apart from on a video of the Wigan game, and I�m certainly looking forward to working with him on the field.

�He seems to have a lot of things covered that we�re trying to do. The players have responded to him at training and hopefully his return will boost the crowd a bit.�

Wakefield are still without goalkicking stand-off Jamie Rooney, who on Friday signed a new three-year contract, but welcome back French forward Olivier Elima to face his fellow countrymen after a five-match absence.

�They�ve got some big and skilful forwards and good strike players like Demetriou and Solomona,� said Potter. �It makes for an interesting game.�
