SITALEKI Akauola says Steve Price urged his Wire side to "play their own game" at half-time of yesterday's win over Toronto Wolfpack.

The Canadian side took an early 8-0 lead, but The Wire went on to run in 12 tries to book a Challenge Cup quarter-final date with Wigan.

Akauola, who impressed again off the bench, admits his side were getting dragged into "dirty tactics" by the Wolfpack early on.

"The first 20 minutes was pretty scary for us. They started really well," he said.

"We always knew they were going to come out throwing everything they could at us, even if that meant being a bit dirty.

"Pricey just spoke to us about not going down to their level. He told us to just play our own game rather than theirs and that showed in the second half.

"It was good to get the result in the end though and take another step closer to Wembley."
