Sun 7th Aug: SL: Wakefield Trinity v Catalans Dragons KO 15:00

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Shocking 2nd half. Catalans just happy to hold on to lead and invite wakey to give away stupid 6 agains and penalties. 

Wakefield happy to oblige.

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

In the second half so far, Ashurst scored a try after 48 mins and Lino added the goal to make it 10 - 16.  Since then, Les Dracs have kicked two penalties courtesy of Mourgue, after 68 minutes, following a high tackle, and 74 mins.  Currently 10 - 20 with about six minutes to go.

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

Murphy in on 78 mins for Trinity; Lino goals.  16 - 20!

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

FT. 16-20

Too much to do after opening 5 minutes.

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

FT 16 - 20.

Incidentally, Les Dracs began with 8 French players on the field; I could be wrong, but I think Trinity started with a similar number of English players - a quirky little statistic if true!

Yes, those 12 points at the start were vital. Pity as it would have put a bit more pressure on the Warrington v Toulouse game. 

However, the points difference wasn't damaged which could be vital. 

It shows how important it was that Hull KR won on Thursday.

Good opportunity for Trinity today against a Catalans team with a whole pack missing and the late withdrawals of Tomkins and Pearce. Trinity will be disappointed I'm sure.

I reckon Catalans came into the Wakefield half only twice in the second half and left with successful penalties both times.  

Would like to see a replay to check if Hall took the right option going for glory after the final hooter rather than feeding Kershaw.

Massive game now Wire vs Toulouse.  French arent down yet

If Wire lose to Toulouse at home it would register as most probably the worst performance of what has been a season to forget for them, there is a good reason that Toulouse are bottom and it showed against a very understrength HKR on Thursday.

Wire will win this game comfortably I think,

If Wakefield are going to lose its still important for them to keep the losing margin to a minimum and they did that.

Looked to me like he tried to kick it through, it came off his knee and Catalans dropped on it.
