Wolves like lambs to the slaughter

WARRINGTON Wolves’ new team boss Tony Smith now knows the size of the task in hand as he saw his new charges slaughtered 60-8 by Harlequins at the Stoop.
The Quins ran in 10 tries, with former Wigan and Castleford half-back Danny Orr the inspiration for the home side – the scrum-half scoring a try, having a hand in three others and also converting all 10 tries.
The home side took the lead within two minutes when Orr delayed his pass allowing Luke Dorn to dummy his way over.
Warrington hit back with two tries of their own, the first came when Dorn’s attempt at an interception instead saw the ball presented to Vinnie Anderson, who crossed the line unopposed.
Danny Ward then hit back to stretch Quins’ lead, but Warrington reined them in once again when Paul Rauhihi touched down.
But tactical kicking from both Orr and Chad Randall pegged the Wolves back, and the Londoners started to threaten every time they gained possession.
They scored again after 24 minutes when Karl Temata barged over after brushing aside a couple of challenges.
The best try of the opening period came 11 minutes later, inspired by the pace of Will Sharp.
Orr’s subsequent cross-field kick found Matt Gafa in acres of space to gather and stroll over the line.
The Quins went into the interval with a healthy lead after Orr scored their fifth following a Daniel Heckenberg break.
Warrington heads dropped in the second half, while Quins maintained their tempo as the traffic became strictly one way.
Randall chased a Dorn kick through to score early in the second period which all but ended the game as a contest.
Further tries were to follow in the final quarter from Luke Gale (2), David Howell and Chris Melling as Smith’s men were truly put to the sword.
