Warrington Wolves brought back to Earth with a horrific bump
AFTER the jubilation of reaching the Challenge Cup Final, Warrington Wolves have been brought back to Earth with a horrifying bump.
It is now back-to-back Super League defeats either side of their cup semi-final victory for Sam Burgess' side as their poor recent record at Wakefield Trinity continued as the hosts ran out dominant Round 11 victors.
Defeat at the DIY Kitchens Stadium on Sunday afternoon is their fifth in a row at the ground, with Trinity completing a home-and-away double over The Wire in 2025.
