Salford City Reds 18 Warrington Wolves 50
WARRINGTON Wolves got their season back on track ending a four-match losing run in fine style with a 50-18 hammering of bottom club Salford.
With most of their big guns back from injury the Wolves were too hot to handle as they ran in 10 tries.
On Millennium Magic weekend Vinnie Anderson and Martin Gleeson both scored twice in the one-sided encounter.
Wales international Lee Briers also enjoyed himself in Cardiff, scoring an intercept try after setting up his side's opener and the margin of victory would have been even greater if he hadn't left his kicking boots at home.
A clever kick from Briers opened the scoring when the ball luckily came back off the cross bar and bounced kindly for Paul Johnson to touch down.
Anderson side-stepped his way through shortly after to extend Warrington's lead before Salford finally got on the board through Luke Dorn.
However, they conceded again before the break when Henry Fa'afili crossed in the right corner for his 10th try of the season and the second half became one-way traffic.
Stuart Reardon got the benefit of the doubt from the television official over a double movement to score before Gleeson helped himself to a quick-fire double.
The Great Britain centre held off Luke Robinson to go in on the right before enjoying the easiest of run-ins.
A second intercept try of the afternoon, this one for Richie Barnett, rubbed further salt in Salford's wounds and as if that wasn't bad enough, Anderson completed his brace straight from the resulting kick-off.
Salford's Kevin McGuinness and Andrew Brocklehurst both crossed in the closing stages for consolation tries. But it was the Wolves who had the last word, Jon Clarke scoring and Ben Westwood adding the conversion to bring up his side's half century.
