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.

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.

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.
