Hull youngsters rise to the occasion

WARRINGTON WOLVES 2
HULL FC stylistically showed their play-off credentials with a solid victory over Warrington Wolves, who had seen the end of their own finals hopes several weeks ago.
A six-try romp of eighth-place Warrington was the difference, as the hosts sit hot on the trail of Wakefield Trinity – who did them no favours in seeing off bitter rivals Hull KR -heading into the last round.
In spite of fielding a heavily depleted side, Hull had started with an air of confidence and showed little signs of having a beleaguered squad.
Aidan Sezer’s inviting kick downfield and Zak Hardaker’s early launch into the Wolves’ line were early indicators of a home side out for the hunt.
