Croker fires Dragons' upset
From correspondents in London
March 26, 2007
SUPER League leader Bradford suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of the Catalans Dragons overnight.
Jason Croker's field goal and a last-minute try from John Wilson saw the Dragons snatch their first away win of the season.
Croker's effort gave the Dragons a 13-point lead midway through the second half at the Grattan Stadium, and proved crucial.
Michael Platt and James Evans crossed to set up a frantic finish, but Wilson touched down in the last act of the game to confirm the Dragons' win.
It was only the third time the Dragons, for which Thomas Bosc also scored 14 points, had recorded a win away since joining Super League last year.
Wakefield, meanwhile, climbed joint top with a 30-24 win over Warrington.
The Wildcats led 10-0 through tries from Peter Fox and Ryan Atkins and were four points clear at the break.
Warrington began the second half strongly, with tries from Chris Bridge and Jon Clarke, Bridge converting both efforts. But Wakefield hit back with tries from Waine Pryce, Ben Jeffries and Tevita Leo-Latu and they held on for victory.
It is now equal on 10 points with leader Bradford, with Leeds also on 10 points after a 28-16 win over Harlequins on Friday.
Winless Huddersfield's misery continued as it suffered an agonising 18-16 loss to Salford at the Galpharm Stadium, its seventh successive defeat.
Teen Jordan Turner's first try sealed a crucial win for the Reds, who have now moved five points clear of the Giants at the bottom of the table.
