IT’S time for a look at the stats from what was a notable victory for Warrington Wolves last night.

They edged a real ding-dong battle at Craven Park, running out 22-20 victors over Hull KR to make it three wins from four in Super League this year.

Here’s some of the things we noticed from a look at the figures…

Dufty dazzles again

It was perhaps fitting that Matt Dufty was the man to score the winning try last night.

Once again, he put in a stand-out display from full-back to continue the promising form in which he has started the season.

With two assists to go with his four-pointer, Dufty also made a whopping 239 metres with the ball – far more than any other player on the field and he passed the 200-metre mark for the second week in a row.

Add an incredible 15 tackle busts and two clean breaks to that and you have another excellent all-round display from the Australian.

He was joined in The Wire’s three-figure club this week by the usual suspects in Toby King (141m), Paul Vaughan (134m) and Matty Ashton (110m) while Ben Currie joined this week with 103m.

Clinical use of the ball

In each of their three games before this, Wire had a lower completion rate than their opposition.

It is an area they have wanted to improve and finishing 91 per cent of their sets shows they did just that.

There were far fewer errors made this week too – just four were recorded – while their improving discipline continued with just two penalties and one set restart conceded.

It is certainly a start, and Burgess will be after more of the same going forward.

Holroyd’s big shift in defence

With a lot of focus on Leon Hayes, it is easy to forget there is another academy graduate going more under the radar in the shape of Adam Holroyd.

He is quietly going about his business on the right edge and this week, he topped the Warrington tackle charts with 39 successful tackles.

Ben Currie was close behind on 38 as he continued to demonstrate the all-round game to become a more-than-handy loose forward.

George Williams (29) also had a busy night off the ball while James Harrison (27), Lachlan Fitzgibbon (26) and Danny Walker (25) featured highly.

An area Wire must tighten up in

A lot of the joy Hull KR were having came around the ruck area.

They were already known as one of the most prominent teams for running from dummy-half and it can be difficult to stop, and Wire had trouble doing so.

Take Mikey Lewis for example – at 204 metres, he was his side’s leading metre-maker with seven of his 19 carries coming straight from the behind the ruck.

As a whole, Rovers made 18 dummy-half carries compared to Wire’s five and they allowed the visitors out of trouble and into attacking positions.

No doubt that will be an area that is given plenty of attention in the review process of this game.
