WARRINGTON Wolves returned to the top of Super League with a convincing 42-10 victory over Hull KR at the Halliwell Jones Stadium as full-back Brett Hodgson returned from injury for his first start of the season with a perfect seven conversions from seven attempts.
The Wolves led 18-0 at the break thanks to three tries from Chris Riley (13) Chris Bridge (22) and Ryan Atkins (33), with Hodgson adding the extras.
