Overview
- Warrington surged to an 18-0 half-time lead through tries by Toby King, Cai Taylor-Wray and Albert Hopoate, with Marc Sneyd on target from the tee.
- Teenager Cai Taylor-Wray scored from a 70-metre break and was central to another score in a breakout display before a sold-out Halliwell Jones Stadium.
- Video referee Chris Kendall, using this season’s expanded reviews, overturned a Jack Welsby try for obstruction and later ruled out an Alex Walmsley effort for double movement.
- Jack Welsby did cross later but exited with a wrist or shoulder injury, while Josh Thewlis restored Warrington’s cushion before Jackson Hastings was sin-binned for a late hit on Taylor-Wray.
- The result extended St Helens’ losing streak against Warrington to eight matches and set a positive early tone for Sam Burgess’ side.
