Revenge for Wolves
by Gary Skentelbery
WARRINGTON avenged their three defeats to Salford last season with a comfortable 24-12 victory pre-season friendly at The Willows, as they ran in five tries.
But hopefully they will not get too carried away as they won the corresponding friendly at the start of last season!
Two tries from Martin Gleeson and Henry Fa’afili and one from Rob Parker gave Warrington the victory, with Lee Briers on kicking duty.
Salford’s signing Danny Halliwell, who spent a spell with the Wolves earlier in his career had put the Reds ahead, but were later reduced to 12 men when Aaron Moule was sin-binned for disputing a disallowed David Gower try.
Young second-rower Luke Adamson did nab his first try for the Reds though and David Hodgson ran in for a late consolation.
There was an injury scare for Wolves skipper Lee Briers who had to limp off with an ankle injury but did not require an x-ray and will be fit for the start of the season.
