Wolves for the drop!

by Gary Skentelbery

FORMER Warrington Coach Kevin Ashcroft believs Warrington and Salford are the favorites for the drop as the Wolves plunged to yet another defeat which leaves them second bottom in the Super League.
Ashcroft believes something must be wrong in the Warrington camp for so many star players to under achieve.
Meanwhile despite a spirited display, in particular from debut winger Kevin Penny who grabbed a brace of tries and a hat-trick from Henry Fa'afili, the Wolves ended up on the end of another heavy defeat as the Rhinos plundered seven tries against a disjointed defence.
If Lee Briers had not left his kicking boots at home the score would have been a lot tighter as the Rhinos only oustcored Warrington 7 tries to five, with Kevin Sinfield landing seven out of seven.
The defeat piled more pressure on Coach Paul Cullen, who has been given the dreaded "vote of confidence" by Club Chairman Lord Hoyle.
With an almost "mission impossible" trip to St Helens in the Challenge Cup looming followed by a visit by fellow relegation candidates Wakefield another league defeat could signal the end of an era for Cullen.
While he has been quickt o point out how who turned the club around from relegation candidates to top four challengers, the club appears to have gone complete circle.
