Cougars as Head of Coaching Tony Smith rested some of his star names

against the championship outfit.
To their credit the Cougars never gave up, scoring a try at the end of each half, but Warrington had too much fire power, despite missing Skipper Adrian Morley and hooker Michael Monaghan, running in a total of eight tries from eight different players, with Lee Briers managing six conversions.
Winger Joel Monaghan was first to cross the whitewash after 7 minutes followed by Ben Westwood on 14, Chris Hill on 19 and Rhys Williams on 24 minutes, with Barnett scoring for the hosts just before the break.
But when youg hooker Brad Dwyer went on on 47 minutes closley followed by Chris Riley on 53 minutes the game was over as a contest.
Ben Harrison celebrated coming back from injury with a try on 56 minutes followed by Paul Wood on 72 minutes.
Sam Obst scored two late consolation tries for the Cougars, which were both converted by Jones to give the scoreline some respectability as the Wolves moved safely into the draw for the 5th round.
