WARRINGTON Wolves have picked up their biggest win of the 2021 season so far.
They put in a superb defensive display to become the first side to beat Catalans Dragons this year, coming away with their first win in Perpignan since 2018.
The Wire, who left stand-off Blake Austin out of their team, had to come from behind but tries from Ben Currie, Toby King, Jake Mamo and Gareth Widdop secured a notable victory.
James Maloney scored a try and kicked two goals for the hosts, who led 8-0 with the game approaching half time but were scoreless from then on.
