WARRINGTON Wolves proved too strong for Super League newcomers Hull KR in this 4th round challenge cup clash at the Halliwell Jones as they avenged last year's shop cup exit.
But the Wolves suffered more injury woes as packman Rob Parker suffered a suspected broken hand and front rower Paul Wood was helped off with an ankle injury, to join the list of walking wounded.
Vinnie Anderson and Brent Grose both bagged a brace as Warrington eased their way into the fifth round.
There wasn;t much to choose between the sides in an evenly contested first half which Warrington edged 10-4 at the break.
But the visitors eventually ran out of steam as Grose was on hand to score his second in the closing stages after opening the scoring in the first half.
The impressive Stuart Reardon also crossed for the Wolves before the break but Hull KR remained in touch thanks to David Tangata-Toa's intercept try.
Man of the match Vinne Anderson's first of the afternoon extended Warrington's lead and that was followed up by a solo effort from Chris Bridge, who side-stepped inside Tommy Gallagher to reach the line.
Netherton's close range try briefly threatened a Robins recovery but they were blown away with three scores in the final four minutes.
Grose, Anderson and prop Paul Rauhihi all touched down to give the final score a flattering look.
