His side produced a 28-0 win in Perpignan to move above their opponents in the Super League table.

McNamara was happy with how Catalans approached the game.

He said: “I think it was an efficient performance. It was always going to be about field position, and we got a grip of that in the first 30 minutes of the game, keeping Wigan at their end of the field.
