Sat 19th Feb: SL: Catalans Dragons v Wakefield Trinity KO 18:00

[WakefieldCityLoyal]

Well played the vaccinated lads.  The kids will tire second half but did themselves proud first half.

 Up the Trin 

[Agbrigg]

Plenty of effort from this young wakey side. But I bet the amount of set re starts and penalties against them will be greater than points conceded.

I'm right with you on that, but sometimes it just doesn't happen and it is cruel but real.

I'm thinking of Nigel Wright - a great talent that we never saw in full bloom.

Absolutely and Dom Manfredi more recently. Nigel Wright was pure class and had his career ruined. He could’ve been anything. Dom Manfredi the same and I really hope Johnstone doesn’t go that way. To lose two wingers like that in the same era would be extremely cruel. There’s every chance they’d have been England’s first choice wingers had they stayed fit (certainly pushing Makinson anyway).

That's my frustration.

Just a couple of minutes back, you could clearly see that Catalans were miles offside, roll forward a minute and Wakey get penalised for offside.

I’m sure I heard Barrie McDermot say he’s playing to the crowd.

[Dunbar]

Wakey have done well to stay in this game. You would expect Catalans to go on with it but a decent effort from the visitors. 

[Dunbar]

And Catalans will soon learn that a team without Dylan Napa in it is better than one with Dylan Napa in it.

[Morris Wanchuk]

Wow high tackle on McMeeken, really?

[Old Frightful]

Wakey don't seem to be getting much luck here.

[welshmagpie]

Liam Kay really isn’t a 9.

Is Tom John Stones playing Robin Asquith's part in the remake of "confessions of a window cleaner"?

[Old Frightful]

Dumb penalty to give away there.

Post of the day official winner

[Futtocks]

As ankle-taps go, that's a good 'un.

Not sure he'd appreciate that.

[dkw]

No way he's called Harry Bowes

Neither would Robin Askwith...

That's just too good.

[Hvy wg]

Laguerre third dropped ball...

[Ullman]

Great finish by Johnstone.

Wakefield making a real fight of it.

[Hvy wg]

And now gets stuck in defense.

Not a very good game for the lad

[Hvy wg]

We were on top the whole game long and yet managed to almost fumble it.

[Agbrigg]

Well the wakey fringe players can hold their heads up. Lost that game in first 15 with lack of composure and hammered with pens and restarts.

 

[welshmagpie]

Mitchell Pearce looks as if he’s on a retirement holiday. 

[Futtocks]

A decent contest overall. I enjoyed it.

[Wakey Til I Die]

Decent effort from our lads, never really looked like we’d win it but we’ll be fine this year. Catalans are seriously missing Maloney. Pearce is awful.
