Wolves secure league win number 13

WARRINGTON Wolves eased past Salford Red Devils in the final stages to consolidate their position in the Super League top four.

The scores were tied at 14-all before Josh Charnley gave the Wolves the lead on 52 minutes and they didn’t look back.

The two sides exchanged early scores through Sitaleki Akauola and Jack Littlejohn for 6-all and then Tom Lineham scored in the corner to put the hosts in front.

Toby King marked his return to the team by getting on the end of a Tyrone Roberts kick for a third Wolves try and the sinbin of Ryan Lannon on 27 minutes had the Wolves 14-6 up against 12 men in the final stages of the first half.

But despite the numerical disadvantage, Salford found a way back in to the game, Littlejohn crossing for his second to reduce the deficit to 14-10 at the break.

And the visitors levelled things up within six minutes of the restart, keeping the ball alive for Jake Bibby to score.

Charnley re-established a Warrington lead and he then had one disallowed in the corner, ruled in touch.

It took until the 70th minute for the Wolves to get some breathing space, Daryl Clark darting over from close range.

Mike Cooper put the icing on the cake late on, capping a fine individual performance with a try for 30-14.
