Sam at heart of the action

-

SAM TOMKINS ripped the hearts out of Trinity with a stellar display.

The full-back played a major part in hat-tricks for Tom Davies and Matt Whitley, with Samisoni Langi, Julien Bousquet and Fouad Yaha also scoring. The win – Catalans’ biggest-ever in England – took them top on points difference to the delight of coach Steve McNamara. He said: “We played powerfully with the ball and Sam Tomkins started off where he finished. He is pure class.”

Wakefield were dire but had the excuse of losing Kelepi Tanginoa, Tony Gigot and Lee Kershaw to injury in the opening 30 minutes.

Coach Chris Chester said: “It went wrong from the kick-off. It’s just not good enough.”
