Wolves rout sorry Quins

Warrington moved to the top of the engage Super League table after running in 14 tries to inflict an 82-6 thrashing on Harlequins.

Chris Bridge scored a first-half hat-trick, while Lee Briers, David Solomona and Richie Myler also touched down before the interval at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Quins had made a promising start to the season - winning four of their first five matches - but could not offer any resistance to the onslaught, with a single Luke Dorn try their only response.

The rout continued after the break as Ben Westwood grabbed a brace to add to further tries from Rhys Evans, Solomona, Adrian Morley, Matty Blythe, Lee Mitchell and Brett Hodgson.

Full-back Hodgson also slotted over 13 conversions, bringing his personal points tally for the match to 30.

The hosts took the lead in the sixth minute as Myler and Briers combined to play in Bridge in the left corner before adding a second in the 14th minute.

Scores

Briers was again the creator as his pass found Hodgson, who sent Bridge over for another simple score in the corner.

The visitors were already struggling badly to keep their opponents out and fell further behind in the 20th minute as Myler made space for Briers to finish from 20 metres out.

Bridge completed his quick-fire treble six minutes later as the ever influential Hodgson sent the 26-year-old over.

Quins finally hit back in the 33rd minute as Dorn touched down from close range before Luke Gale added the extras to make it 24-6.

But they were not able to stem the tide and Warrington ran in two more tries before half-time, Solomona grabbing the first after an error in the Quins defence had let him in from close range.

Another lapse three minutes later then allowed Myler to cross the try-line, with Hodgson tacking on the conversion each time to make the scoreline 36-6 at the break.

Advantage

Exciting youngster Evans then increased the advantage four minutes into the second half as he grounded the ball after racing onto a neat grubber kick from Myler.

Wolves had scored again before the 50-minute mark as Solomona grabbed his second try, while Westwood powered over for his first of the afternoon shortly afterwards.

Morley then managed to touch down with an outstretched arm to score Warrington's 10th try of the contest and Hodgson's conversion made it 60-6.

There was to be no let up for the away side as Blythe crossed in the 60th minute before Mitchell added another try after collecting a pass from Solomona.

Westwood then breezed through some pedestrian Quins defending to score Wolves' 13th try of the match, but Hodgson missed the conversion having been successful with all 12 previous attempts.

However, the veteran Australian then took a pass from Ben Harrison to score in the right corner in the closing stages and added his 13th goal to complete the scoring.
