Super League Round 24- Warrington v Wakefield Review

So how do I start? It was as expected, Warrington could rack up the points edging them nearer to the 1000 mark whilst Wakefield are still left dead bottom of the table. However, what are they playing for?

After wakefield's poor showing a couple of weeks ago leaving coach John Kear annoyed at their lack of effort and they certainly upped the effort yesterday. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to get a win over Warrington who stand 2nd in the table just 1 point behind leaders Wigan. 

The game lasted pointless for a mere 59 seconds when Chris Bridge crashed over for the first of Warrington's 11 tries.  Brett Hodgson then converted and that would be the last time he made an impact on the game after leaving through injury (quad strain). So from just 4 minutes in Warrington had to change their set up with Evans replacing Hodgson and Bridge switched to full back fairly early on.

I think at the start of the match and for most of the first half Warrington could be accused of overplaying and putting in too much effort causing silly errors and missed opportunities. However Wakefield capitalised on very little of these mistakes. 

So after a try in the first minute it took until the 11th for the wolves to strike again with a try from Ryan Atkins after brilliant offloads from Solomona and Bridge. Bridge then converted to make it 12-0 to Warrington. After being awarded a penalty Wakefield managed to hit back with a try from Kyle Amor which could be judged to have been a lucky deflection. Veivers then converted bringing the score to 12-6 after 16 minutes of time. 
Warrington then came back on the attack with a try from Richie Myler off a Simon Grix pass. Again it was converted by Bridge to make it 18-6. Joel Monaghan and Matt King then made it over the line both being converted bringing the score to 30-6 at half time.
However it wasn't all good for Warrington as they went in for the break with on 14 fit players for the next 40 minutes after Simon Grix (groin) and Ben Westwood (knee) were both withdrawn from the action in the first half.

10 minutes into the second half Michael Monaghan raced over for a try bringing the score to 36-6. Atkins then went over for his second try as wolves racked up the points and it was soon 48-6 after another try from Atkins who completed his hat-trick and his 7th try in 2 games. Rhys Evans then left the field through a foot injury leaving wolves with no players to interchange after 64 minutes.
However this didn't stop more points coming as Anderson slid over (his second try) , King went over for his double and then Mike Cooper ran down the field after a Chris Bridge break. Bridge added 2 points to all of the tries bringing the score to 66-6. Wakefield had the final say with a try from Smith which was converted bringing them into double figures just before the end finishing the scoring at 66-12.

This was the 11th time that Warrington have passed the 50 point mark this season - impressive or bad for the game?
