In recent years, more and more Super League teams have chosen to fly to Perpignan against the Catalans on the same day – with mixed results.
Salford, on the other hand, preferred to take a longer trip, spend a few days in the south of France and benefit from warm weather training and the opportunity to connect as a playgroup.
