Sam Tomkins in line for Grand Final return after squads named for showdown

Catalans Dragons and St Helens have named the squads ahead of the Grand Final - with Sam Tomkins included in the French club's squad.

The Man Of Steel is nursing a knee injury picked up last month and missed the play-off semi-final victory over over Hull KR.

He has been classed as a doubt for the contest as a result, but has been considered fit enough to feature in the 21-man squad.

Les Dracs are all but full strength otherwise and the same applies for Saints, excluding the absence of halfback Theo Fages. Morgan Knowles and Sione Mata'utia are both included after not receiving bans for sin-bins picked up in the victory over Leeds Rhinos last week.

Catalans: Mourgue, Davies, Langi, Whare, Yaha, Maloney, Drinkwater, Dudson, McIlorum, Bousquet, Whitley, McMeeken, Garcia, Jullien, Goudemand, Laguerre, J Tomkins, Chan, Kasiano, S Tomkins, Dezaria.

Saints: Coote, Makinson, Naiqama, Percival, Grace, Lomax, Walmsley, Roby, Lees, Thompson, Knowles, Mata'utia, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Amor, Paasi, Welsby, Smith, Batchelor, Dodd, Wingfield, Davies.
