WARRINGTON Wolves paid the penalty for resting six of members of the team that triumphed over Wigan as they crashed to their heaviest defeat of the season 62-18
at London Broncos.
The Wolves, with one eye on next week’s Challenge Cup final went behind after 83 seconds when Bronco’s youngster Kieran Dixon touched down out wide, with teenager Will Lovell doubling the Bronco’s advantage from close range shortly after, with Craig Gower converting both tries.
Stefan Ratchford got Warrington back in the game on 14 minutes when he went over following a neat offload by Trent Waterhouse from Richie Myler’s up-and-under.
The teams continued to trade tries with Dorn scoring for the Broncos before Myler responding for the Wolves, with Ratchford’s second successful conversion making it a six-point game.
Omari Caro scored London’s fourth try of the half after good work by David Howell, but Rhys Williams’ try before half-time kept the Wolves in the hunt.
Dorn added his second of the game in the second half after a break from Howell moved the home side to within 10 metres of Wolves’ try line, Gower maintained his perfect record
with the boot.
A Gower kick caused chaos in the Wolves’defence and Caro kept the ball alive out wide before Michael Robertson darted over.
Wolves’ misery was made wrose when prop Chris Hill was sin-binned for ten minutes for a late hit on Broncos playmaker Gower and the Australian slotted over the penalty to
extend their lead to 20 points.
The Broncos piled on the pressure as Frenchman Julien Rinadi got his name on the scoresheet.
Dorn added the icing on the cake when he intercepted Simon Grix’s ball and raced half the length of the field to make it back-to-back hat-tricks, with Gower’s conversion bringing
up the 50-point mark.
Robertson added his second try of the game late on when he got a hand on Dorn’s neat grubber kick. Chris Melling converted with Gower
having departed to a rapturous reception.
There was still time for Dorn to score his fourth of the match to compound Warrington’s misery.
