Fri 30 Apr: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Catalans Dragons KO 18:00

[John Drake 6,418]

Discuss Wakefield Trinity v Catalans Dragons here.

[Harry Stottle 4,634]

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.

[Davo5 5,879]

Another pasting for Wakefield 

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon 1,403]

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 60]

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

[Sir Kevin Sinfield 2,662]

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

[Chronicler of Chiswick 1,072]

Cats by 8.

[Manfred Mann 1,409]

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+

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo 1,007]

Tom Davies gets his hat trick try,

Wakey 18 Catalans 32.

2 mins left.

[Scubby 13,251]

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

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo 1,007]

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 283]

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

 Up the Trin

How does that work? We've won 3 of the last 10.

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