STEVE Price was happy that his Warrington Wolves side worked things out in the end as they completed a first Super League double of the season with victory over Widnes Vikings.

Although Wire opened the game with six straight sets attacking the Widnes line they came away with nothing, squandered a few opportunities and ended up falling 10-0 behind as former Crosfields amateur Ed Chamberlain touched down twice on the flank of Wolves new boy Josh Charnley.

But two tries from Toby King put Price’s men back in the hunt and it was one-way traffic in the second half, with Charnley bagging a debut double, Sitaleki Akauola crossing for his first for the club and Ben Westwood notching his first of the season to put Wire out of reach before Rhys Hanbury’s late consolation effort for the visitors.

Charnley’s early score in the second half and the powerful impact off the bench of Ben Murdoch-Masila, Joe Philbin and Sitaleki Akauola appeared to break the resolve of Widnes.

“I was happy with that,” said Price.

“It was a good result to score 32 points. The last two weeks we have scored over 30.

“I just thought we were a little bit clunky in the first half, lacking a little bit of finesse.

“We went into the sheds at half time and spoke about a few things we needed to improve and challenged the boys on that. We got a really good response from them and the result is a credit to them.”

He said it was important in the scheme of the game that Wolves got an early try in the second half, putting Widnes on the back foot.

“We spoke about just tidying up our execution a little bit, the finesse of our passing and the speed of the plays coming on to it,” he said.

“We got that right and it was great to get that try straight after half time. That was pleasing.

“Widnes scored just one try in that second half. It would have been nice to keep them to 12 points but it wasn’t to be, but we are starting to build into a footy team which I know we’re capable of.”

He tipped his hat to the team for not panicking after falling 10-0 behind.

“That’s a special mention to our senior players about being able to control that and players not getting flustered around those key moments,” he said.

“We found a way to get back into it. Come the second half we spoke about what we needed to do and we did that.”
