THERE is no place for captain Ben Garcia in an otherwise strong-looking Catalans Dragons squad to face Warrington Wolves on Saturday.
The Dragons skipper has been ruled out of the Round One clash at the Stade Gilbert Brutus due to a hamstring injury,
However, there are six new signings in the 21-man squad named by head coach Steve McNamara including the trio of Tariq Sims, Jayden Nikorima and Bayley Sironen, all of whom have joined from the NRL.
Sims is the younger brother of former Wire prop Ashton, who spent three seasons with The Wire between 2015 and 2017.
Theo Fages, Chris Satae and Jordan Abdull are also in line for their Dragons debuts.
