Season review

On 12 February, Warrington began their Super League campaign with a 22–20 away win at Leeds Rhinos[1] which was followed with wins over Castleford Tigers[2] and Toulouse Olympique.[3] The run of wins ended when their first loss came against Catalans Dragons in Round 4[4] and they failed to record consecutive wins for the rest of the season.[5] Warrington were knocked out of the Challenge Cup at the end of March after losing to a Wakefield Trinity side that had also beaten them in the league in the previous match.[6] After a win over Huddersfield Giants in April, Warrington went on a run of five losses before defeating Hull F.C. 4–0 in late June.[7][8] A 32–18 victory over Toulouse in mid-August helped Warrington to maintain their gap over the bottom of the table team.[9] Warrington finished their season with 32–14 win over Salford Red Devils.[10]
