THE PREDICTION
Wakefield Trinity will need to improve with the ball if they are to earn their first win of the season in this clash with Catalans Dragons. The hosts had plenty of chances in good ball situations last week but they were unable to overcome Hull FC and Chris Chester could start to feel the pressure if his side do not get off the mark soon. Catalans suffered their first loss last week as they went down to Warrington Wolves with the Dragons showing some unwanted traits in their attempt to fight back in the final 20 minutes. They will be eager to put that loss behind them as quickly as possible and having won the last six meetings in all competitions between the two sides, it would be a surprise if Steve McNamara’s team failed to come away with the victory here.
