Wakefield (14) 14
Tries: Gleeson, Blanch Goals: Brough 3

Catalans (10) 30
Tries: McGuire 2, Khattabi 2, Raguin Goals: Bosc 5

Catalans Dragons produced a fine second-half fightback to defeat Wakefield and consolidate third place in Super League.

The home side made an explosive start, scoring tries through Sean Gleeson and Damien Blanch in the first 12 minutes.

But Casey McGuire and Youness Khattabi hit back for Catalans before they taking charge after half-time.

Sebastien Raguin, Khattabi and McGuire all went over while Thomas Bosc ended up with five goals from seven attempts.

It was the Catalans' first win in four attempts at Belle Vue and moves them to within a point of second-placed St Helens.

And the victory was a perfect response from the eight Dragons players who were in the France side thumped 56-8 by England last week.

The defeat means Wakefield missed out on the chance to climb to fourth in the table and now drop out of the top six.

Catalans Dragons coach Mick Potter:
"It's credit to the mentality of the French players to back up.

"To a man they said they wanted to play regardless of injuries. I think they wanted to show they were a bit better than they were on Friday night.

"We didn't start very well and we were under the pump quite a lot in the first half. To be only four points behind at half-time was a surprising thing for us. It could have been a lot more.

"But we came up with a couple of simple plays to keep us in the game and the guys gained some energy in the second half when we got more possession."

Wakefield coach John Kear:
"You would have thought half my team had been playing on Friday night and not half the Catalans team.

"We controlled the game for 30 minutes and then we were on the back foot for 50 minutes.

"It was the worst 40 minutes we've played for a long, long time and that's a concern."
