I saw Mead make a good run, and the pass for the try.

And some garbage ball dropping

When Catalans get Michael McIlorum and Paul Aiton back, and Luke Walsh as well, and when Anthony Gigot (who was excellent today) has a few more games under his belt, Catalans will start winning. I expect them to make the top 8 by season's end.

The fact that you think Luke Walsh and Paul Aiton would improve the team should give away to anyone who had any doubt that you aren't a Catalans fan.

Luv it

The margin is immaterial , You lost and got - points de zilch.

I agree Gigot looked decent. But Mead is currently stealing a living. The only reason I assume he's decent is that the commentators keep telling me he is. He rarely seemed to get his hands on the ball in the game today, and didn't look much as if he wanted to.

If Justin Horo hadn't been so keen to gift the match to Catalans with daft penalties, Wakefield would have had that game sewn up. Catalans were better than their previous games, but with Leeds away next, you're looking nailed on for 5 losses out of 5. To make the top eight, You'd then need to win at least eleven out of the remaining eighteen, which isn't going to happen. Catalans will be in the middle-eights. The positive you will have is that you might go into those on form and not end up in the MPG.

There was a definite improvement Jean, but they are coming from a very low base.

I didn't realise there were twenty seven games before the playoffs, however isn't it around ten wins to secure a top eight spot? With that in mind & Catalans appalling away form it's going to be a tough ask, they've only got nine home games left & with the likes of Leeds, Wigan & Cas to play at home I don't see where their wins will come from.

As for the game, I was pleased to see Johnstone has lost none of his pace & Wakefield managed to grind out a win.

The only glimpse of Mead I got was that he wasn't quick enough to catch Tom Johnstone who's only running at 90% at the moment.

Catalans must have troubled Wakefield because Catalans was ahead for part of the match.

Catalans were not was John Flatcap Dozey !
