A MUCH-CHANGED Warrington Wolves side put in a dominant performance to rack up their fifth Super League win in a row.
Bottom side Leigh Centurions proved no match for Steve Price's men, who ran in seven tries at a soggy Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Eribe Doro scored his first senior try in the second half after early scores from Blake Austin and Matt Davis had set a platform.
Gareth Widdop, Josh Charnley, Danny Walker and Tom Lineham also crossed for The Wire.
Liam Hood, Junior Sa'u and Mark Ioane scored tries for the visitors.
