WARRINGTON were given one almighty scare as they eventually got the better of rock-bottom Salford who showed plenty of fight.
The Wolves dug deep last week to keep their play-off hopes alive, and this match was seen as a banker. They were against a team that had conceded on average over 40 points per game, let’s not forget.
It is easy to dismiss this Salford side – just one win to their name and a season marred by off-field turmoil. But a glance at the team sheet reveals a squad full of quality. And there were flashes of the Salford of old as they gave Warrington a real run for their money.
“It is probably as good a performance as we’ve had,” said encouraged Salford boss Paul Rowley.
