Tom Davies reminded everyone there’s more than one Tom doing the business for leaders Catalans.
The ex-Wigan winger crossed twice against gutsy Hull as Steve McNamara’s side delivered a seventh successive Super League win. Fellow wideman Tom Johnstone has been earning rave reviews since his move from Wakefield this season. He got things up and running, moving back to Super League’s top tryscorer with his 21st of the campaign after latching onto Sam Tomkins’ grubber.
Davies - who earned a solitary England cap in 2021 - only has eight in comparison but this brace marked his fourth in his last three games. And Catalans badly needed his 63rd minute second try to finally see off spirited hosts who had threatened to cause a shock just as they did in their last outing against champions St Helens. After seeing his side open up a four-point lead at the top, McNamara said: “The two Toms are an incredible partnership - they are a pair - and Tom Johnstone’s got all the headlines of late with his try-scoring feats.
