Mourgue glad to be back for clash with former club

- DAVE CRAVEN

IT IS no surprise Hull KR star Arthur Mourgue cannot wait for his Super League return tonight.

Forced to watch Saturday's Challenge Cup win due to being cuptied, the dynamic full-back is itching to get going again with the relentless leaders.

But the fact the Robins' opponents are Catalans - his lifelong club who he only left in March - simply adds to the intrigue.

Rovers will parade the Challenge Cup at the end of the Sewell Group Craven Park clash.

And on being a frustrated spectator as they ended 40 years of trophyless hurt against Warrington, Mourgue said: "Obviously I was gutted I couldn't play. But there were still some great memories for me. It was unbelievable afterwards.
