Warrington coach Tony Smith hails forwards Garreth Carvell and Ben Westwood

WARRINGTON coach Tony Smith hailed forwards Garreth Carvell and Ben Westwood, both back after five-match absences, as his side cruised into the fifth round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup with a 56-10 win over York.

Man of the match Carvell returned from injury and Westwood from suspen-sion, with both playing key roles in the 10-try victory.

Smith said: “They were the two best players on the field. We were professional with the ball and scored some nice tries.

“We were a little patchy in the first half with three errors but lifted it in the second half. The job went well. York have two cheeky little brothers in Paul and David March who probably annoy their own mother! They were feisty and had a go and can be proud of themselves.”

Meanwhile, Wigan are poised to announce the capture of England centre Martin Gleeson, who could make his debut in Thursday’s Super League derby against his old club St Helens.

Gleeson, 28, was left out of Warrington’s team to play York on Saturday.

Had he played for the Wolves, he would have been cup-tied for his new club
