Not sure about that, seemed to me Wakey were strolling at 16-0, Les Cats came back then Wakey went out again to 16-22 IIRC, then Les Cats with a late blitz.

Catalans discovered an Achilles heel in the Wakefield armour, Peter Fox.

His atrocious performance single handedly provided Catalan with a route, nay a whole transport system back into the game.

Goodbye Mr Fox

Crowd was announced as 7100 (6100 would have been the correct figure FOR those that turned up) as i have posted before IMHO the bubble has burst a bit and the club is desperate for a second french team in the comp.Reasons1/Perpignan has huge unemployment and the club,s fan base tends to be quite old granted some kids do attend however compared to many SL clubs its on the low side,most families would be used to freebies on the maire which is not the case with a SL club (Avignon crowds bear this out 17000 + 95% giveaways)2/Away fans traveling is well down (David Foti of Catalan Sports Tours who sometimes posts on here would confirm this) its not what it was a few years ago (Warrington Wolves apart who really do turn up in big numbers) 3/Inflation and prices its shocking now in France 6 euros for 2/3rds of a pint of beer is expensive and restaurant prices are sky high (Spain is at least 30% cheaper and the strong euro does not help) most away fans now stay in Spain.4/USAP factor despite having a couple of poor seasons USAP still dominates the town the Dragons need to win something (The RFL would have a heart attack if they managed to roll up at Wembley again or MU LOL:)))) I hope it happens:))))))NO NEWS on the Toulouse front although Carlos the new president of the FFR seems to be working very hard on the world cup and other matters however the FFR is desperate for some young blood the entire new regime seems to be around 60+ there is no young blood coming through which is worrying.Proposed new league a pipe dream it will never happen,they need to sort the traditional clubs out thats where the heartbeat of FRL is not in a traveling circus (That would last 5 minutes anyway) CM
