Catalan Dragons' Remi Casty out for four weeks with fractured rib

Catalan Dragons captain Remi Casty will be out for up to four weeks with a fractured rib cartilage.

Casty was forced off in Monday's 41-22 win over Castleford and underwent scans on Wednesday to determine the extent of his injury.

His absence is a blow for the French outfit, whose seven-try win over the Tigers helped them up into the top four of Super League following the Easter period.

Dragons head coach Laurent Frayssinous said: "It's obviously bad news for him but also for the team. 

"Since his return, Rémi was improving week in week out and produced some great performances on the last games. 

"But I know him and I'm sure he will come back stronger."
