Super League: Warrington Wolves 20-8 Hull KR

Warrington Wolves held off a second-half fightback from visitors Hull KR to win 20-8 and go top of Super League.

But Wire withstood spells of incessant pressure before a late Thewlis penalty sealed a fourth straight win over KR. But instead it was Wire who leapfrogged Wigan at the top, albeit having played two games more than the Warriors.The hosts made a blistering start as King began and finished a slick move down the left on his 150th Warrington appearance before the centre put Ashton in at the same corner soon after.

Before the break, the visitors were a shadow of the side that had won seven of their previous eight matches, but they at least got on the board when Niall Evalds sent Broadbent over in the left corner after a powerful carry and offload from Kelepi Tanginoa. Warrington’s defence wobbled at times, yet held firm impressively as they restricted their opponents to fewer than 10 points for the fourth time in six matches.
