Rugby League: Warrington leap-frogged by Huddersfield

WARRINGTON had a miserable evening as a 34-22 defeat saw Huddersfield leap-frog them into fifth in the race for the engage Super League play-offs.

Warrington scored three tries to two in the first half but faded in the second half to end their home campaign on a disappointing note despite a hat-trick of tries from make-shift centre Ben Westwood.

They also lost prop forward Paul Wood with a dislocated shoulder and had international duo Adrian Morley and Paul Rauhihi placed on report for alleged foul tackles.

“We got what we deserved,” said coach Paul Cullen. “We scored five very good tries but our composure and discipline simply wasn’t good enough. But it all pales into insignificance when we consider the injuries to Paul Wood.”
