A STUNNING second half fight back saw Warrington Wolves move level on points with leaders Wigan at the top of Super League XV after coming from behind to beat Bradford Bulls 33-8.
Trailing 6-8 at the break Warrington responded well, running in five tries as they kept the Bulls pointless. 
Winger Ryan Atkins opened his scoring account for the Wolves as his wing partnership with centre Matt King saw them bag a brace apiece.
It took 23 minutes to get the Halliwell Jones scoreboard ticking when Warrington full-back Chris Riley fumbled a high ball, leading to a sustained period of pressure for the Bulls that ended in Lynch crashing over for a video-referral try as he just managed to ground the ball on the whitewash.
Warrington then hit back when Myler went racing over following a great midfield break from Mickey Higham.
But Bradford reclaimed the lead three minutes before the break when scrum-half Matt Orford created the space to send Sykes over for another unconverted try.
Warrington went on the attack immediately after half-time, gaining their reward when King drew two defenders before sending Atkins over in the corner.
The Wolves gained some breathing space when King went flying over in the same corner after good work by Louis Anderson.
From the kick-off, King again caused havoc for the Bulls’ defence sending Atkins over. Monaghan then got in on the act when he crossed without a Bulls defender laying a hand on him. 
A Monaghan drop-goal and another late converted try from King capped a fine comeback.
Chris Bridge weighed in with four out of six conversions.
After the match Warrington Wolves coach Tony Smith said: “It was an ugly first half. We are making a bit of a habit of it but fortunately we are making a habit of getting it in order for the second half.
“I think that is the third team we have shut out in the second half, which is encouraging. “From a team point of view it was one good half and one half that we will look at and learn from.”
