Two-try Ash Handley helps Leeds Rhinos rip up woeful Warrington Wolves

Two-try Ash Handley helped Leeds inflict yet more misery on woeful Warrington - the one-time title hopefuls now in freefall.

The prolific winger, who scored a hat-trick on his England debut against France here in April, scored twice as Rhinos surged into a 16-0 lead inside just 15 minutes. Given how bad the wretched Wolves were, even so early it was always going to be enough. Daryl Powell’s side beat Leeds 42-10 in their season opener in February, starting a run of eight successive wins.

But, despite still being just two points off top, they are now scarily unrecognisable from that side and have lost five of their last six games. It’s little wonder Powell had his head in his hands so often last night with disgruntled fans booing them off. Warrington looked completely rudderless without injured England captain George Williams and devoid of ideas.
