"Our three first-choice half-backs were unavailable through injury but I thought David Fitzpatrick and John Wilshere were outstanding.

"We've got a great bunch of blokes and I'm just really pleased, particularly with the players we had out.

"We were written off before we came here but our front row was outstanding and easily matched Warrington's."
