GAME ON : Catalan Dragons v Wakefield Trinity - 17:00:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Fancy Wakie in this one. Le Cats 18 Wakie 26.

Both sides have stronger teams than recently.

Hard game to call but hoping the Red, White & Blue army sing us home with a win this evening.

The good thing about the Catalans games on tv. Nearly 20 mins in and we haven’t had 37 different camera shots of the coaches sat in the stands....how will us tv viewers cope without them?

Can’t see Wakefield getting back into this unless Catalans gift them a way. Wakey players looks shattered in that heat and won’t have the energy to do it without gifts of field position. God knows how Pauli made it through that half, he looked buggered after 10 mins.

I honestly would not cry if Chris Chester got sacked tomorrow. The guy has underperformed and if could be costly.

It is obvious that the classy Catalans Dragons are in a different class to woeful Wakefield. The Perpignan based team will now reclaim fifth place in Super League.

Apparently the big Wakefield forwards can't take the heat of southern France in the summer. They should have been given special preparation for the weather conditions, although that would not have changed the match outcome.

It must be very hard for Wakefield fans to suffer such a humiliating defeat, even if it is at the hands of a brilliant attacking team.

You really need to win next week at home vs Cas because you aren’t getting anything from the following 2 weeks both away to Saints and Wigan.

Sam Tomkins just owned the bully boy Pauli Pauli (excuse spelling).

He thought he was just going to steam roller the little guy and use a bit of forearm for good measure, Sam just employs great wrestling technique and a bit of knee in retaliation and stands his ground against the enraged Pauli.

Plenty of errors but considering the conditions, plenty of brilliant skill on show.

Whatever these guys get paid for playing this great game, it isn't enough.

Looking at Wakey’s remaining fixtures it doesn’t look good if they don’t beat Cas at home next week

Cas (h)
Wigan (a)
Saints (a)
Hull (h)
HKR (a)
Wigan (h)
Warrington (a)
London (h)

Can’t see them getting anything out of the 4 against Wigan, Saints and Wire. HKR even though they got battered last night have still beaten Wire and Hull at home recently since Smith came in so will be tough. Hull are inconsistent so it’s pure hope you get the bad version.

Could see it being a final day battle between Wakey and London for relegation if they lose next week to a Cas team that isn’t in best nick themselves recently.

So Wakey have been stuffed again. Shame eh? No doubt it's all down to those pesky refs yet again.

This particular club so deserves relegation. I'd love to see it this season.
