Honeymoon over for Lowes!

JIMMY Lowes’ honeymoon period in charge of Warrington is over after a comprehensive nine-try thrashing by Catalans Dragons.
Lowes must now return to the drawing board after watching his side completely outclassed as the Dragons took a 38-0 half-time lead through scores from Adam Mogg, Casey McGuire, Justin Murphy, John Wilson, Thomas Bosc and Sebastien Raguin.
Warrington improved in the second half, although it didn’t take much to improve on the
first half performance, with Chris Riley, Paul Rauhihi and Ben Westwood scoring tries.
After two victories under Lowes this was Warrington’s first big test since Paul Cullen left the club on the back on a string of poor performances – and they failed miserably.
Catalans, who are clearly a major force were 18-0 up in as many minutes as the Australian trio of Mogg, McGuire and Murphy ripped through Warrington’s brittle defence.
Wilson added a fourth try on 23 minutes before Bosc and Raguin touched down to give the Dragons a commanding 38-0 half-time lead.
Lowes obviously said something to his battered troops at half-time as within four minutes of the re-start, they had their first points of the match through Chris Riley.
Paul Rauhihi touched down four minutes later, but back came the Dragons as Murphy ran through a hole in the visitors defence to add his second score on 64 minutes.
Ben Westwood ran in for the Wolves’ third try three minutes later, before Khattabi and Elima completed the rout.
Many more performances like this and Warrington will not only be looking for a new Coach next season but new players as well!
After the match Vinnie Anderson was taken to hospital complaining of tingling in his hand and was found to have damaged a disc in his neck. He was later able to rejoin his team mates.
