Warrington Wolves maintained their 100% start to the Super League season by holding back a perky York Knights side in an electrical high-scoring encounter.

The 30-38 scoreline included 12 tries shared between the sides, with a manic 40-point very first half.

Josh Thewlis and Sam Stone probably made the difference for the visitors, contributing a set of attempts each.

There was an unique moment for Ben Currie too, who scored his 100th try for Warrington in the 2nd half.

The Wolves moved level with Wigan Warriors at the top of the table on six points, with York in ninth having won two out of their four video games so far.

With a quarter of an hour on the clock, it looked as though the first Super League conference between these two sides would be an extremely one-sided affair.

Stone, Thewlis and the outstanding Cai Taylor-Wray provided the visitors the perfect start with three fast ratings, as the Wolves twice barged through the home defence either side of Taylor-Wray collecting a neat pass to go over in the corner.

Fifteen minutes later, Warrington, exceptionally, discovered themselves behind following a storming resurgence from the home side.

Ben Jones-Bishop got the Knights on the board, before Denive Balmforth went over following smart hands from full-back Tom Mata'afa, who scored a try of his own moments later to finish the turn-around.

The lead altered hands once again minutes later on, Stone scoring his second shot to send the Wolves in 22-18 at the break.

The 2nd half mirrored the very first, as the hosts came out of the traps slower than their more knowledgeable Super League opponents. George Williams crossed to score before Currie raised his of tries for Warrington, from under the posts.

Still the hosts refused to accept defeat, as Paul Vaughan, versus his former side, and Liam Harris claimed attempts to bring the Knights within 2 points of their opponents.

Thewlis repeated with 10 minutes to go, and Marc Sneyd transformed the extras as the Wolves saw out triumph.

They return to action at Goole Vikings in the Challenge Cup on Saturday, 14 March, while York face Keighley Cougars in the exact same competitors.

'We expect better from ourselves' - reaction

York head coach Mark Applegarth told BBC Radio York:

"Fair play to Warrington, congratulations to them. They started truly strong in both halves and we got captured.

"I was really proud of the spirit we showed and how we returned into it, but there were some valuable lessons for us in all of that.

"If you score 30 points in a game, that need to be enough to win it, but I believed we left some soft checks out there.

"I believed we looked fantastic on the front foot, however the momentum shifts at this level are enormous, and these groups can publish some big ratings pretty quickly.

"We're not here to be happy losers so it does sting a bit that we got ourselves back into the game and let it get away from us once again. We anticipate much better from ourselves."
