“But it is what it is and we have to check out Mitch Garbutt and Craig Hall this week to see if they’re ready or not.”
After Catalans, KR host Lonon on Friday week before finishing off at Salford Red Devils.
They are not set to get any of their other recently injured players back for the trip to France.

“George Lawler will probably be next week, too.
“That’s where we’re at but it’s always a test this time of year for every team to get people fit and healthy on the park so it’s just another challenge for us.”
