Warrington 18 Huddersfield 26
IT proved to be one game too far as Warrington crashed at home to bottom of the league Huddersfield.
Warrington were truly appalling in the first half and appeared to be suffering a hangover from their narrow victory at Salford on Good Friday.
But Head coach Paul Cullen refused to blame his side's injury crisis on the defeat as he saw Chris Bridge and Vinnie Anderson limp from the field to add to their growing list.
He said: "Injuries and unavailability of players is not an issue, as we created enough chances to win the match and bombed four of them.
"We put the ball down twice with not a Huddersfield defender in front of us and you have to take those chances in a game like this.
"We had a very good response in the second half but as far as we are concerned 24 points have gone begging with our missed opportunities>
"It doesn't do your spirits much good when you lose your stand-off and loose forward when you are working so hard in the second half.
"We know full well we will get all the guys back and will look forward to that day."
Warrington's tries came from Henery Fa'fili (2) and Martin Gleeson against his former club, with Briers landing a penalty and two conversions.
Meanwhile Huddersfield's Chris Thorman who landed seven goals was the main difference between the two sides as he capitalised on Warrington's high penalty count.
A match too far!
