WOLVES BACK IN WINNER’S CIRCLE
DAVE PARKINSON Halliwell Jones Stadium, Friday
WARRINGTON WOLVES 34
CASTLEFORD TIGERS 24
WARRINGTON warmed up for their Wembley Cup final appearance with a solid home win over a Castleford side that paid the price for a lukewarm start.
Their coach Sam Burgess was delighted with the result.
“We won, so I’m happy with that,” he said.
“We fell off a bit at the back end but (that was) partly to do with my rotations. I was really happy with most parts of the game.
“I just thought we stuck to the plan, we had a lot of ball and we controlled the possession well.
“Cas had a couple of errors early and we made some points on it, and I thought some parts of our defence looked much better.
“We fell off a bit in the second half, but it’ll give us something to work on through the week. It’s an exciting week for us all so we’re looking forward to that now.”
