HAT-TRICK hero Tom Johnstone turned on the style as Catalans surged to the top of Super League.
The prolific winger was too hot to handle for woeful Wigan as Steve McNamara’s side ripped them to shreds at Magic Weekend in Newcastle.
He has endured some horrendous luck in his career, including two ACLs. But he has now scored 17 tries in 15 games for the rampant Dragons.
McNamara, who also saw Matt Whitley (2), Arthur Mourgue, Arthur Romano and Sam Tomkins score in an eight-try romp, said: “Tom’s all-round game was just superb.
“I’m really pleased for Tom. He’s had a couple of dreadful years with injuries.
There was an opportunity for us to get him and he’s been great since day one.
