Warrington Wolves 30 Hull KR 12
WARRINGTON out muscled Super League newcomers Hull KR as they recorded a convincing 30-12 victory at the Halliwell Jones.
But the victory came at a price as Adrian Morely, on his home debut, was led from the field with what appeared to be another facial injury midway through the first half.
With half backs Lee Briers and Chris Bridge already missing, hooker Jon Clarke shared the play making roles with Vinny Anderson and Mike Sullivan.
Winger Henry Fa'fili opened the scoring early on after good work by his centre partner Martin Gleeson with Paul Johnson and Ben Westwood adding further tries before the break.
A Jason Netherton try was the visitors only response just before the break but Clarke extended Warrington's lead early in the second half.
Johnson and Clarke again struck to put Warrington out of sight with Byron Ford scoring a late consolation for Rovers.
Victory moved Warrington up to 5th in the table, level on points with their opponents.
But Coach Paul Cullen's main concern will be another injury to Morley.Picture shows centre Paul Johnson scoring.
