Dragons Back to Winning Ways As Wakefield Lose Again
When the Catalans Dragons and Wakefield Trinity met in the third round of the Challenge Cup three weeks ago it was a comfortable victory for the French side as they ran out as 26-6 winners to make progress and line up a quarter final tie against the Warrington Wolves next weekend.
Coach McNamara made several changes to his victorious cup side with McIlorum and Seguir in the starting line-up and Joel Tomkins and Jordan Dezaria on the bench. Wakefield had loanees Olly Ashall-Bott (Giants) and Josh Eaves (Saints) in their seventeen and making debut as they suffered a temporary injury crisis.
Trinity can't get a win anywhere and you get the feeling that if they were handed one, they'd probably drop it, while the Dragons slipped up against Warrington last week to tarnish their unbeaten record in 2021. The bookies strongly fancied a Dragons win with Wakefield being given an eight-point start on the coupon.
