Thur 21 Feb: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Catalans Dragons KO 7.45pm (TV)

[chuffer]

Cant see anything in that

[Gerrumonside ref]

Looked like a tear around the groin 

[fevtom]

Hopefully it’s not as serious as it looks. So many injuries so early in the season. 

[Padge]

Never good to see players stretchered off.

Hope it isn't to serious for Meed.

[Man of Kent]

Terrible fumble by Simon but did it need a spin pass from that distance?

[Gerrumonside ref]

Knock on.

Release the fat ladies.

[Man of Kent]

Zut alors. Too many Dragons off their game tonight 

[Man of Kent]

Catalans need to sort out their spine. Quality players but not clicking at all

[Padge]

Brough is rubbish. 

[Man of Kent]

22-12 Wakey FT

[Davo5]

Awful 2nd half

[Gerrumonside ref]

Will either make the playoffs?  Loads of preseason talk about Wakey.

[wilsontown]

Well done Trinity, good win.

[Futtocks]

Best team on the night get the win. Catalans still rarely out of first gear, compared to their late-2018 form.

Catalans look like they'll flatter to deceive again - still looking like less than the sum of the parts...

They still look a damn sight closer to being a decent team than they did 12 months ago.

I can’t see either of them finishing above Wigan, Saints, Warrington or Cas but that would still leave one play off place wide open and I wouldn’t count either out of that (but I don’t fancy Catalans if today is anything to go by.) Are Leeds or Hull really any better than Wakey at the moment?

Yeah, agreed.

Not that difficult - they were truly awful back then

But they still look like they'll fall short (in my opinion of course)

I think Leeds on paper should be there at the end of the season.

But games aren’t won and lost on paper as we all know.

Back to normal, they played better than usual late 2018.

[Clogiron]

Well that died a slow, painful death wakey did enought in the first half to justify the win but Cats never looked like putting enough together to get a win, they need to get their act together pretty soon or else their going to be in no man's land, not challenging for the top 5 but not in danger of going down makes for a long season for all concerned.

Do the Wakey fans squashed in the corner behind the goals not realise there is empty terracing down the side?

Yes they did but it was taped off with two high viz wearing gentlemen barring entry.

[Manfred Mann]

I feel sorry for David Mead. He is a good player. I hope that he is not too badly injured.

Looks like Fouad Yaha will be playing next week.

There is seating down one site but the other is just open concrete steps with a small sheltered area at the far end.
