An impressive Warrington Wolves side ran in 12 tries as they thrashed Huddersfield Giants at The John Smith’s Stadium.
Wolves winger Matty Ashton was the star of the show with his third hat-trick for the club while James Harrison, George Williams, Matty Nicholson and teenager Cai Taylor-Wray added to the scoring before the half-time klaxon.
Further second-half tries from Josh Thewlis, a second from Taylor-Wray, Toby King, another from Nicholson and Papau New-Guinea international Roderick Tai added gloss to an exemplary attacking display.
Wire’s fifth win in six Super League matches means they take their fight for second spot with Hull KR to the final week of the regular season while Huddersfield stay ninth.
Wire opened the scoring after King offloaded to England international Ashton to dot down in the corner.
