Discuss Wakefield Trinity v Catalans Dragons here.

[Harry Stottle]

Wakefield just failed to get over the line last week, I expect them to do so this week in a close one, no more that 6 points in it.

Another pasting for Wakefield 

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

If Les Dracs play a sweeping expansive game, they will win convincingly.  If they inexplicably give up on that approach (eg as against the Wire), the Trin will have a chance.

[Wakey Til I Die]

No idea why but i fancy us to nick this one. 

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Catalans Dragons are the superior side by far, I expect them to win this game 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Cats by 8.

[Manfred Mann]

Based on the assumption that Gareth Widdop will not be playing  for Wakefield, I fully expect Sam Tomkins to rip the Wakefield defence to shreds, and Catalans to win by 20+

[Scubby]

Wakefield collapse again. That is 2 wins from the last 22 league games for Wakefield and their coach.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

A late tale of two forward passes at 18-20 with 10 minutes to go.  Try disallowed for Wakefield at one end then try given at other end for Catalans.  Game over at 18-26 really with Wakefield just conceding more points off attempted short drop outs and kick offs.  It's tough viewing I tell yer.

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Score flattered them, keep improving and need some player back.

 Up the Trin

I've only seen brief highlights, but it looks like they did, and hence did!
