Salford travel to the south of France on Saturday to face Catalan Dragons Dan Robinson takes you though all the stars and the stats from the game.
Glean Stewart is experienced back rower with great skills and strong defence. He made more than 200 NRL appearances and is key player in that Catalan pack. Salford will need to be a well drilled side to stop Stewart providing a action packed full 80 minutes.
Ben Murdoch Masila has been in great form for Salford, the powerful forward to be looking to win the physical battle in the middle to get Salford on the front foot.
Catalan dragons have pace and power all over the field and defencively they will be very difficult to break down.
This game promises to be full of trys after last years 40-40 draw expect the same kind of action.
Jodie Broughton has been scoring lots of trys in 2016 and Josh Griffin for Salford has also been clinical with ball in hand.
Winning the battle in the forwards will be a key battle in the game on Saturday. Jusin Carney is a try scoring threat and a huge metre maker but Tony Gigot will need to martialled as he too can be dangerous

The Battle of the front rows will be explosive. Craig Kopzak has been a inspiration since he signed for Salford with a 100% effort and commitment in every game he has played.
Dave Taylor is a experienced Australian who will be looking to get the Catalan pack moving forward.
Both players are very important to their own teams.
As the song goes Rob Lui is Salfords star man, he has the ability to turn the game Salfords way and will be looking to turn the magic on in the South of France on Saturday
Todd Carney is Catalan Dragaons most creative player, back in Australia he suffered from ill discipline off the field but since playing in the South of France he has settled into the Catalan Team and become their "go to man" in many situations.
A moment of magic from either player could win the game for either team.
Both scrum halfs will be looking to have big impact on Good Fridays game, with their contrasting styles of play it will be a interesting battle.
Michael Dobson is Salfords rugby league general, probing and getting the team around the field with creative passing and a great kicking game. His organisational skills will be a key aspect in this battle.
Ex Salford player Myler may receive a hostile welcome form the Salford fans after he left the club under a cloud to to go Warrington but few fans can disagree he can be a match winner on his day.
Pace to burn and a ability to spot a gap in the defence Salford will need to be on top defensively to stop Myler.
