IT was far from pretty but Warrington Wolves got back to winning ways this evening.
They were pushed all the way by a Leeds Rhinos side who fielded several youngsters ahead of their appearance in the Challenge Cup Final on Saturday.
Toby King marked his 100th Warrington appearance with a try and two assists for Matty Ashton and Ben Currie.
Daryl Clark and Ashton's second score added gloss to the scoreline late on.
