Dragons by 24

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Aye Dragons comfortably - i'll go 38-10 

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Catalans by plenty even without their front row 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans by 12. I'm wondering if the weather's going to affect Wakey's travel arrangements.

[Chris22]

Both sides missing players, but Wakefield's are especially big losses and harder to replace. Hard to see anything but a Catalans win.

Napa, Dudson and Bousquet are Catalans first choice props. Kasiano can’t play big minutes or put in a lot of hard graft. It will be a big ask for Catalans young French props to step up and fill the void.

David Fifita in the Super League team of the week, but not travelling. Nor the captain Miller. Seems odd.

Fifita only stayed on the pitch during last 10 minutes because we were already down to 12 men.  Limping badly due to ankle injury.  

With the weather looking bad could be no flights available.  Postponed or 48-0 to Catalans then?

There were 6 unvaccinated players in the squad who wouldn't be allowed to play in France. It's not been said (obviously) who they are, but it could explain some.

Still possible that even fit he may not have travelled but I said last week that Fifita looked crocked at the end.  The omission of Miller and Tanginoa on the other hand possibly?

Lets see who turns out in reserve game v Castleford on Friday.

Tanginoa hardly played any minutes last week and looked either injured or ill while on the pitch.

Who knows? But that's the squad we have. Speed and enthusiasm could be our saviour.

Catalans 42-10 Wakefield

Heard Tanginoa playing in reserves this Friday. Fifita was definitely struggling but Miller the odd one. Mind you the way Miller tends to contstantly run up his own backside , his absence will be a refreshing experience

Surely it wouldn't be Wakefield's fault if weather prevents them travelling?

Depends if they are flying Saturday, storm will have passed by then. If no flights I would imagine game will be re scheduled

[ATLANTISMAN]

Anyone have news on this i am due to go tomorrow however we have decided to stay in Spain after the match for a couple more days to allow for things to calm down a bit:)

My 16 year old is happy Monday off school:)

If they did what the Giants did last week and flew to Carcassone they would have already landed, of course they maybe chartering a day plane so who knows.

I think the weather is slightly better tomorrow.  Tonight's reserve game has been called off I hear.

FevRover asked what would happen IF they couldn't travel out. Ya know, IF all flights were cancelled.

Comprehension not your strongpoint is it?

Why are you still doing the rounds trolling on here? Haven't you got something better to do?

Like watch Rhinos lose again?

[Northern Eel]

Wakey to give the convalescing Monsieur Gauch a pick-me-up. Catalans by a few…

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Just seen the team, loads missing.  Should have cried off and took the 42:0 or whatever it is.

 Up the Trin

I believe the 48-0 is just a Covid-outbreak causing cancellation match outcome, if a team pulled out of a game for any other reason I think the outcome would involve quite stiff financial penalties.

[Morris Wanchuk]

Oh dear just seen the Trinity line up, could be a long 80 minutes!
