Morley – Watch out when we click!

WARRINGTON Wolves once again showed their new found mental toughness and resilience as they came from behind to win 18-34 at Castleford Tigers.
Skipper Adrian Morley (pictured right) sent out a warning to other clubs after the match saying: “The positive thing is we are winning games without playing our best. But when we click watch out!”
The powerhouse prop who is now heading out to Paris with Head of Coaching Tony Smith for England duties added: “We’ve not been starting games very well and the Coach gave it to us a bit at half time and we came out better in the second half.”
Man of the match Vinnie Anderson who grabbed two tries added: “The Coach got us revved up at half time but there is still a lot of room for improvement – but Tony’s style is good for us.”
Despite a slow start which saw the Tigers race into an 8-0 lead the Wolves still managed to hit back to lead 8-12 at the break against the run of play.
It took just four minutes for Castleford’s Kirk Dixon to open the scoring after Benny Westwood had been penalised for a high shot putting the Wolves on the back foot.
Warrington again paid the the penalty on 18 minutes when Vinnie Anderson was penalised for holding down and from the resulting play Castleford’s Richard Owen went in at the corner. Fortunately Dixon was again wide of the target leaving the Wolves trailing by just eight points, which considering they had missed seven tackles in the opening 20 minutes was not surprising.
Lee Briers brought the Wolves back into the game on 23 minutes when he was put over by Jon Clarke and Chris Bridge added the extras to make it 8-6.
Warrington took the lead on 33 minutes when Castleford failed to make touch with a penalty and they were duly punished as Louis Anderson powered his way over after being put through a gap by Chris Bridge, who was playing at stand-off in the absence of the injured Michael Monaghan.
Warrington were some what fortunate they didn’t find themselves behind at the break as a sweeping move from the home side was ruled out by the video referee for the slightest of knock ons in back play.
Warrington started the second half poorly with knock ons from Westwood and Higham but then master poacher Lee Briers came up with an interception try to open up an 8-16 lead.
It was now Castleford who were giving away penalties and Briers made them pay as he sent Matt King crashing over, although Bridge was again wide with his conversion attempt in blustery conditions, making it 8-20.
Warrington had another lucky escape on 53 minutes when the Tigers had another try ruled out after the video referee ruled that Chris Riley had unfairly been taken out after allowing a high ball to bounce.
On 58 minutes Castleford gave the home fans some hope when Michael Shenton scored a break away try with Dixon adding the extras to bring them back to within one score at 14-20.
But a clever kick from Bridge was touched down by Vinnie Anderson and Tigers Ryan McColdrick was sin binned for dissent after arguing with the referee.
On 66 minutes Warrington scored their best try of the game after great hands from Clarke, Bridge and Grix sent Anderson in for his second try which Bridge converted to make it 14-30.
On 71 minutes Castleford were given some slight hope after Carvell knocked on and was then penalised allowing the home side to take advantage and send winger Evans over in the corner but Dixon was again wide of the target.
Five minutes from time Warrington sealed their victory with another interception effort as Chris Hicks, who had been having a quiet game, raced 80 metres to touch down. Bridge was wide again but it mattered little as the Wolves were home and dry at 18-34.
Warrington have now won seven of their last eight games, including five consecutive victories, leaving their dismal start to the season a near distant memory.
