Catalans Dragons 48-0 Wigan Warriors

I would love to be telling you some exciting facts or key insights on this match but I was busy being away in the New Forest and could only follow on Twitter. 

It sounded very exciting though as we pulled out one of those incredible performances that tend to come the Dracs way every now and again.

Such was the visiting sides frustration at not being able to register a single point, Zak Hardaker decided to head butt Sam Tomkins causing the sort of melee that causes correspondents to write that "if only Wigan had showed this level of passion all game". 

One swallow doesn't make a summer, that much is for sure, and we have been on the cusp of this sort of dominance of Super League more times than I care to mention before not pushing forward. 

With the limited time spent in pre-season it would not surprise me one bit if the players start to run out of steam in the coming weeks. 

For now though, let's enjoy being in this position and this sort of form. 

In the current world climate, your sporting team being able to make you smile is something to treasure.
