YES, you’re reading it right, Warrington Wolves lead Brisbane Broncos handsomely at half time in the World Club Series.

Wolves made a stunning start to the game, thanks to a trademark move.

Joe Westerman charged down Ben Hunt’s kick and raced 50 metres before the scrum half pulled him down.

But from the play-the-ball Kevin Brown took play down the narrow side and dummied his way over to score with his first touch in Wire colours after 1min and 48secs.

And with Dec Patton adding the touchline conversion, Wolves had the perfect start.

It was soon 8-0, with Patton booting a 26m penalty after Matt Gillett held Hughes down too long in the tackle.

Wolves extended their lead the next time they got into the danger zone on the back of a penalty for offside from Darryl Clark’s dummy-half dart.

Some neat interpassing around the ruck kept the Brisbane defenders tight, allowing Brown to find Ryan Atkins on the charge on the next tackle and the centre planted the ball down with a stretch. Patton’s extras moved Wolves to 14-0 after 14 minutes.

When David Mead made a hash of Brown’s high kick the scrum possession allowed Wolves to alunch another attack for their third try.

The ball was quickly swept right before Matty Russell cut inside and weaved his way to the line. Again Patton was on target to make it 20-0 after 19 minutes.

Brisbane’s most threatening attack came to nought as Rhys Evans read a pass to swallow up Darius Boyd coming from deep and then Anthony Milford’s grubber was too deep to give The Wire a seven-tackle set from a tap restart.

Broncos got off the mark in the 25th minute with a successful chip and chase started by the boot of Andrew McCullough, continued by Jordan Kahu for Corey Oates to dive over in the corner. Kahu converted from the touchline.

A strong defensive set that included good work from Evans and Tom Lineham then kept out the visitors from repeat sets before a Josh McGuire forward pass eased the pressure.

Wolves had another try in them before the break thanks to Atkins setting up position with an in-and-out foray that left Hunt pulling him down a few metres short.

From the play-the-ball Lineham dived over, just managing to keep his left knee out of touch in the process.

Although Patton missed from the touchline for the first time, Wolves will be ecstatic to be turning around 24-6 ahead at the break.

They need to stay switched on in the second half to make history, recording for the club a first ever win against NRL opposition in a competitive match.
