France full-back Tony Gigot scored the Catalans’ opening try, his second in as many games since completing a three-month ban, while Brayden Williame, Richie Myler, Luke Walsh and Vincent Duport added others as they successfully followed up their win at Leigh.
“We spent a very good week in camp,” said Dragons coach Laurent Frayssinous, whose squad based themselves in Manchester in the build-up to Wednesday’s match.
“We have had two very good performances away from home and I’m pretty proud of the boys.
“It was very important that we bounced back from losing by 40 at home to Wakefield and hopefully we can maintain that. It’s about consistency.”
It is no coincidence that the Catalans have started to find their form since the return of Gigot.
“He’s a fantastic player,” said Frayssinous.
“Structure wise with the team, he puts everyone in the right position and in attack he’s very smart. He knows where he needs to be at any time.
“His fitness is not how I’d like to be yet but the combination with Richie Myler and Luke Walsh will get better and better.”
