What went wrong?


By Sports staff

WARRINGTON Wolves Coach David Plange has pledged to investigate "what went wrong" after his team capitulated in the second half a home to Hull.
Leading 14-6 at the interval Warrington looked in total control.
But starting the second half without the influential Lee Briers, who had complianed of feeling unwell at the break, Warrington totally imploded as the visitors rattled up 36 points without reply.
Briers bravely re-entered the fray as things went from bad to worse, but clearly feeling under the weather he couldn't steady a sinking ship.
After the match a furious Plange said: "I was very disappointed after we had put in so much effort and commitment in the first half.
"There was no excuse for the way we capitulated. I will be looking at the video closely to try and remedy the situation."
Whatever Hull Coach Shaun McRae said to his team at half time certainly did the trick - but to be fair the tell tale signs were there in he first half, as the visitors had three tries ruled out by the video referee.
If Hull had got their act together with their finishing they would have been leading at the interval.
They were also rocked by the loss of their skipper Jason Smith after just three minutes when he received a head injury attempting to tackle Nick Fozzard.
The loss clearly unsettled the visitors.
Two first half tries from Ben Westwood and three goals from Briers gave the Warrington a platform to build on but once Hull got on a roll in the second half the Wolves had no fuel left in the tank.
With Wakefield pulling off a shock victory at London and Salford only losing by the odd point at Leeds, Warrington are still a long way from being out of the woods in their bid to avoid relegation.
