Wigan thump Catalans to keep pace with leaders
Betfred Super League Catalans (0) 0 Wigan (20) 48 Tries: Field, Walters, Marshall 2, Leeming, Nsemba, French, Smith Goals: Keighran 8 Wigan Warriors closed within two points of Super League leaders Hull KR as they eased past Catalans Dragons with a clinical, if not dazzling, display in Perpignan. In Joel Tomkins' first game as interim head coach, Les Dracs had plenty of the ball but trailed 20-0 at the break after scores from Jai Field, Sam Walters and Liam Marshall. Tries from Kruise Leeming, Junior Nsemba and a second for Marshall put the error-prone Warriors 36 points clear going into the last quarter. And late scores from Bevan French and Harry Smith piled on the misery for a weary Catalans side who were shut out for a second successive match. More to follow. Catalans: Aispuro-Bichet; Martin, Laguerre, Smith, Yaha; Keary, Fages; Satae, Da Costa, Navarette, Sims, Whitehead, Partington. Interchanges: Rouge, Seguier, Dezaria, Maria. Wigan: Field; Eckersley, Keighran, Wardle, Marshall; French, Smith; Byrne, O'Neill, Thompson, Nsemba, Farrell, Ellis. Interchanges: Havard, Mago, Leeming, Walters. Referee: Jack Smith.
