NEW signing Matt King marked his Super League debut in style with an impressive performance and length of the field try as Warrington brushed past Hull at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Other signings Michael Monaghan, Chris Hicks and Louis Anderson also impressed in a fine display watched by 11,000 fans.
Warrington looked a well-organised unit as Monaghan pulled the strings from Scrum Half and new club captain Adrian Morley showing the side’s intent up front.
The home side started brightly with tries from Chris Bridge and Winger Chris Hicks giving them the advantage before Craig Hall crossed the line for Hull.
It was then the turn of Vinnie Anderson to restore the Wolves’ lead before King made an impressive burst to put them further in front.
Sloppy marking from Warrington then let in Hall for his second of the evening, but Ben Westwood quashed any hopes of a Hull revival with the Wolves fifth try.
Chris Bridge did claim his second of the evening before Graeme Horne touched down to end a lively opening round of Super League XIII.
Next up for the Wolves is a trip to local rivals St Helens on Friday night.
