Summary

Final score: Warrington Wolves 40 Saints 18

Our live feed has now finished.

  • SAINTS capitulated at Warrington after taking a 14-0 lead.
  • Silly handling errors allowed the Wolves back into it after Adam Swift and Ryan Morgan had given them an early lead.
  • A spilled Swift high ball gave Wolves a foothold and they responded with tries from Benjamin Jullien and Michael Cooper.
  • Saints clung on to a 14-12 lead at the break, but more errors at the start of the second half allowed Warrington to keep building their momentum.
  • Man of the match Harvey Livett picked up a dropped Theo Fages ball on half way to romp home, with Saints' response to the spillage summing up the attitude.
  • Wolves tails were up and with their high balls pinning Saints back, backed up by a defensive effort that stopped Saints making yardage, Matty Smith was always kicking on the back foot.
  • After Regan Grace flunked a play the ball Wire were back for more with Rhys Evans crossing.
  • Then Tom Lineham accepted another Saints gift to race in unopposed.
  • Ryan Atkins made it 36-14 on the hour and Saints were clinging on to keep it under 50.
  • In their first good ball set in the half Dom Peyroux, in the centres for the injured Ryan Morgan, forced his way over.
  • But a second Atkins try put the seal on a Saints horror show 13 seconds from time.
  • With dreadful, self-inflicted performances like this, the new coach Justin Holbrook cannot come soon enough.
