WARRINGTON Wolves kicked off a busy weekend in winning fashion with a relatively routine win over Huddersfield Giants.
Two Jake Mamo tries in the first half proved decisive, with the centre coming back to haunt his former club.
That plus a Stefan Ratchford penalty looked like being the only scores, until Mike Cooper added his name to the scoresheet late on.
Jake Wardle ruined The Wire's clean sheet with a late score, but The Wire had the final say as Huddersfield born-and-bred Toby King added the final points.
