Warrington Wolves held off a brave fightback from Wakefield Trinity to close out a 27-16 win at the Halliwell Jones Stadium and maintain their perfect start to the new Betfred Super League season.After Marc Sneyd kicked a penalty to edge the Wolves ahead, Toafofoa Sipley bundled himself over in the 33rd minute and grounded the ball after initially being held up on the line and after a lengthy review by the video referee, the try was given.
The visitors maintained their momentum with a second try just three minutes later after a break from Danny Walker and Albert Hopoate went over under the posts.
Just before half-time, Sipley was shown a yellow card for repeated fouls and Max Jowitt kicked over the resulting penalty as Warrington took a 14-2 lead into the break.Wakefield rallied at the start of the second half, making their advantage count when Jake Trueman’s looping pass out to the left found Jayden Myers who dived over in the corner.
But Warrington hit straight back when Sneyd’s kick was touched down by Josh Smith before another penalty restored their lead at 22-10 just after the hour.
Trinity, though, showed great spirit to come again with 10 minutes left through Oliver Pratt’s try after a kick through from Jack Sinfield, which Jowitt converted.
Warrington eventually made sure of victory in the 78th minute with a well-worked try when a precise kick from Sneyd towards the corner was patted back by Smith and Toby King crashed over.St Helens cruise to big win in Perpignan
