Leon Pryce will make his first appearance in Catalan colours at stand-off on Saturday, when the Dragons take on Wakefield in Jerome Guisset‘s testimonial.

Coach Trent Robinson is without winger Damien Blanch, centre Jean-Philippe Baile and veteran back-rower Steve Menzies, with Thomas Bosc slotting in at full back and Clint Greenshields switching to the wing.

Pryce will start at half-back alongside Scott Dureau, while there will also be a debut for fellow new signing Louis Anderson, who joined from Warrington in the close season.

Robinson will also call up upon home-grown pair Mathias Pala and William Barthau, who spent time on loan at Dewsbury last season.

Catalan team v Wakefield: Bosc, Greenshields, Duport, Millard, Vaccari, Pryce, Dureau, Paea, Henderson, Casty, Sa, Anderson, Mounis. Subs: Ferriol, Baitieri, Fakir, Simon, Pelissier, Raguin, Gossard, Stacul, Barthau, Pala.
