Warrington's mini revival was abruptly brought to a halt after a comprehensive nine-try thrashing by Catalans Dragons. The Dragons took a 38-0 half-time lead through scores from Adam Mogg, Casey McGuire, Justin Murphy, John Wilson, Thomas Bosc and Sebastien Raguin. The Wolves made a huge improvement in second half with Chris Riley, Paul Rauhihi and Ben Westwood scoring tries. But scores for Murphy, Younes Khattabi and Olivier Elima, along with 16 points from Bosc's boot, secured an easy win. Stand-off Bosc was once again in superb form, landing eight of his 10 kicks at goal as well as touching down in the first half at Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpignan. The home side were 18-0 up in as many minutes as the Australian trio of Mogg, McGuire and Murphy ripped through Warrington's brittle defence. Wilson added a fourth try on 23 minutes before Bosc and Raguin touched down to give the Dragons a commanding half-time lead. Interim coach James Lowes - whose two previous matches in charge resulted in two victories - must have said something to his Warriors side as within four minutes of the re-start, Warrington had their first points of the match through Riley. Rauhihi touched down four minutes later, but Murphy ran through a hole in the visitors' defence to add his second score on 64 minutes. Westwood ran in for the Wolves' third try three minutes later, before Khattabi and Elima completed the rout.
