4 ............... WOLVES best form of season

-

knocked-on on the line after Kevin Penny had fumbled his ‘bomb’ in the windy conditions.

But there was no denying Paul Clough in the 45th minute as he burst onto Leeming’s reverse pass to charge over for Brough to convert.

Desperate Warrington defence held up McGillvary over the tryline on the Giants next attack, but that just delayed the inevitable as, on the following play, Dale Ferguson’s magnificen­t offload gave Jordan Turner a walk-in debut score. Brough’s goal had made it 26-0 in the blink of an eye.

And it nearly got better minutes later when Chris Hill spilled the ball on the Giants 20 and Jake Mamo kicked ahead and then collected to finish off, only for the play to be brought back for a ball strip.

From the subsequent set, Warrington then opened their account when Tom Lineham finished acrobatica­lly in the corner.

Fortunatel­y for the hosts, the setback was soon forgotten as great hands sent McGillvary racing down the wing and his pass found the supporting Mamo to race in for a superb converted try.

Try No7 came just four minutes later when Lee Gaskell’s long, looping pass was collected by McGillvary to finish strongly in the corner and Brough landed his fifth conversion of the day.

An obstructio­n denied Mamo once again in the 68th minute after another great move close to the Warrington line.

However, the hosts did hit the 40-point mark with five minutes remaining when Turner fed Murphy to squeeze in at the corner, with Brough adding the touchline conversion to make it 44-4.

It rounded off a highly memorable day.
