Wire Put on a Show at Halliwell Jones

Warrington Wolves delivered a statement win by thrashing reigning Super League champions Hull KR 34-6. The home side were in control from start to finish, and the star of the night was winger Matty Ashton, who crossed the try line twice and reached a huge personal milestone.

Ashton’s Double Helps Seals the Win

Matty Ashton was unstoppable out on the edge. His first try came after a slick passing move, and his second showed pure pace and determination. The two scores took his career total to 100 tries for Warrington — a massive achievement for any player in the league.

Ashton wasn’t the only one to shine. Warrington’s forwards dominated the middle of the field, making big yardage and putting Hull KR under constant pressure. The Wolves built a big lead by halftime and never looked back.

Hull KR Struggled to Find Their Rhythm

As the reigning champions, Hull KR came in with high hopes, but they just couldn’t handle Warrington’s intensity. Their attack sputtered, and they made too many errors. A late try gave them some consolation, but by then the game was long over.

• Warrington scored six tries to Hull KR’s one.
• The Wolves’ defense held firm, allowing only a single score.
• Ashton’s 100th try came in the second half to the roar of the home crowd.

What This Victory Means for the Season

This win sends a strong message: Warrington are serious title contenders. Knocking off the champs in such convincing fashion proves they have the firepower and grit to go all the way. For Hull KR, it’s a wake-up call — they’ll need to regroup quickly to defend their crown.

Fans left the stadium buzzing, and the Wolves will carry this momentum into their next match. With Ashton hitting a century of tries, the team has plenty of reasons to believe this could be their year.
