As the quins thread got to three pages I thought I would have another crack!!!
Dragons will be under a bit more pressure to win this having lost badly to Quins whilst putting in a less than convincing performance. Add the opening day defeat to Wakefield and you could see some panic.
The positives are that it is the first home game and it will be a bit warmer in France so that might inspire some of the players who looked cold and fed up on Sunday.
The early team news I have managed to pick up around the forums are that Bosc and Baille wont play, and Casty returns from suspension.
You would hope that as the season gets going the newbies will start to come into their own and have the same sort of impact that the likes of Ryles and Bird had last year.
Saints have had a mixed start to the season having beeen squashed at home by Hull FC and beaten Bradford away, but will be travelling with a bit of confidence from that defeat of the Bulls.

We are down four first teamers for the game at your place: Cunningham (due to a family bereavement), Flannery (injured), Gardner (injured) and Soliola (injured). I hope no-one else gets injured or else we're going to have to start bringing in the very new guys, as opposed to those who were very new last season.
Must confess, I'm glad Bosc won't be playing: not because I wish injury on anyone but because we might have a bit of a chance with him not kicking us to death!
