Warrington Wolves boss Daryl Powell hails Joe Philbin's display in comeback win over Hull KR

WARRINGTON boss Daryl Powell hailed his side’s resilience as they overcame an early deficit to end Hull KR’s six-match winning run.

The leaders were far from their best but showed real character to bounce back from going 12-0 down in a pulsating Super League encounter. Wolves captain Stefan Ratchford slotted a 68th minute penalty to put his side 14-12 ahead - just two minutes after KR’s Mikey Lewis saw his effort hit a post. Matty Ashton’s late try and a George Williams drop goal sealed a hard-fought victory in an epic contest.

Powell said: “We lost our composure in the first half and made quite a few errors. The weight of that possession and pressure was too much for us. Hull KR started getting too many offloads away and we had to regroup but we dominated for large parts of the second period.
