GARETH Widdop inspired Warrington Wolves to a dominant first Super League win of the season.
The England half-back and his left-edge colleagues tortured Leigh Centurions, with seven of The Wire's eight tries coming from that side of the field.
Widdop, Toby King and Tom Lineham scored two each, with Ben Currie also grabbing a try.
Jake Mamo scored their other try as Steve Price's side bounced back from a disappointing opening day loss to Castleford in fine style.
Adam Sidlow and Ryan Brierley scored consolation efforts for the Centurions.
