Warrington looked in complete control thanks to tries from Matt King, Garreth Carvell and Chris Hicks but they collapsed alarmingly and conceded five tries in a one-sided second half before leaving to boos from their disappointed fans.

The Dragons were a shadow of the side that crashed to a 30-8 home defeat to Huddersfield in their opening match and made the perfect start when loose forward Gregory Mounis scored the game's first try on nine minutes, winning the race to Thomas Bosc's grubber kick on the last tackle.

Mickey Higham and Chris Bridge combined to get King over on 16 minutes, Carvell took Higham's bullet-like pass to go over near the posts for his first try for the club and centre Martin Gleeson produced some classy handling to send winger Hicks in at the corner.

Hicks kicked two of the conversions and added a penalty seven minutes before the break to put his side into an 18-6 lead but tries either side of the interval brought the visitors level.

Substitute Olivier Elima crashed over for a try for the visitors on the stroke of half-time and full-back Clint Greenshields jinked his way through the heart of the Warrington defence for a solo score four minutes into the second half.

After a Hicks penalty, Catalans regained the lead with scrum-half Shane Perry getting Greenshields over for his second try of the half.

The Catalans took control with three more tries in a devastating seven-minute spell.

Right winger Cyril Stacul took Bosc's floated pass to cross at the corner, Jean-Philippe Baile forced his way over from dummy half and left winger Dimitri Pelo profited from another Bosc cut-out pass to score his side's seventh try.
