WARRINGTON Wolves first-team coach Richard Agar highlighted things did not go to plan in the 52-10 Ladbrokes Challenge Cup sixth-round success at Dewsbury Rams.

Injuries to both wingers Joel Monaghan and Gene Ormsby resulted in enforced changes and fewer options to rotate players than he and boss Tony Smith would have liked.

And that disruption came on top of the players getting used to performing again with hooker Brad Dwyer, who has this year been on loan at London Broncos until this week being recalled to cover for the absence of injured Daryl Clark.

“Job done, we’re in the next round,” said Agar, whose professional playing career started with Dewsbury in 1993.

“We had to overcome losing two wingers really early doors and we had a new hooker playing his first game so we had a little bit of disruption.

“We had to move some people about and worked with a two-man rotation for most of the night.

“We had planned if everything was going all right we’d try and share the game time around but it didn’t quite work that way.

“For long periods we played some good football. We probably got a little bit loose in the last 10 to 15 minutes of both halves, conceding a few penalties and too many errors crept in.

“But I thought we preceded that with some good tries and played some really direct rugby.”

Agar was impressed with Dwyer’s work out of dummy half, making his mark from the start and crossing for a sixth-minute try after a show-and-go.

“I thought he was terrific, probably close to being our best player,” said Agar.

“He had to do 80 minutes, which wasn’t planned pre-game, but I thought at the start of the game he gave us lots of enthusiasm and was buzzing around the ruck – very energetic.

“And to say he’s only had two training sessions with us, I thought his performance was very good.”
