Warrington academy fight back in thriller vs NSW

Warrington Wolves Academy produced a superb fightback to claim a richly deserved draw against a very powerful New South Wales Academy side in a high-quality encounter at McCredie Park, Guildford on Saturday morning.

A purple patch for NSW saw them score four unanswered tries in a twelve minute period midway through the first half.

The Wolves refused to buckle and after pulling a try back on the stroke of half time they came out all guns blazing in the second half and were very good value for the entertaining draw.

Warrington opened the scoring in the tenth minute when hooker Lucas Mulqueeney went on his own from dummy half on the last tackle and manage to burrow his way over from close range under the posts.

Scrum half Ewan Irwin converted but then NSW hit back six minutes later when a kick on the last tackle from scrum half Carter Mareko was fumbled by the Wolves and stand off Cooper Votano was quickest to react to pick up the loose ball and score on the right.

From the restart NSW were awarded a penalty that got them into Wolves territory and Mareko and Votano combined to find full back Talen Risati linking into the line.

Risati sliced through before sending a pass out to winger Cyrus Bloomfield who scored wide out on the left and then the Wolves conceded another penalty, this time on their own twenty metre line, and Mareko found Risati who put Bloomfield over in the left corner.

Just before the half hour NSW centre Braith Sloane sent Bloomfield away on a fifty metre run down the wing that split the Wolves defence and he found substitute Michael Nauer in support to race over on the left.

Bloomfield converted but then on the stroke of half time.

Then the Wolves were awarded a penalty and on the second tackle stand off Junior Westwood kicked to the corner and full back Lachlan Webster, now being employed on the wing due to an injury to Charlie Walker, leapt highest to collect the ball and score wide out on the right to make the interval score 18-10 in NSW favour.

Two minutes into the second half Wolve substitute Ellis Livesey slipped a lovely ball to Irwin and he sliced through the defensive line before stepping back on his left foot and rounding the full back with ease on a forty metre run to score a fine individual try under the posts.

Irwin converted his own try but then nine minutes later NSW responded when Risati collected a high kick ten metres from his own line and raced ninety metres to score at the left of the posts. Bloomfield added the conversion.

A superb 20/40 by Irwin gave the Wolves possession inside the NSW half.

After a couple of strong drives from second row Daniel Coop and Livesey got them within twenty metres and Irwin found substitute Tommy Rhodes who slipped a beautiful short ball to second row Oliver Bishop who powered through a gap and stepped round Risati to score under the posts.

Irwin converted but then NSW prop forward Kodi Roberts crashed over from close range to score at the side of the posts. Bloomfield added the conversion.

The young Wolves refused to lie down and back they came as Rhodes and Irwin combined to find Regan and his lovely long ball found Webster on the wing and he scored wide out on the right.

Irwin converted superbly from the touchline to reduce the deficit to just two points.

Once again and then with two minutes remaining Irwin was tackled late twenty metres out and he managed to dust himself down to coolly land the resulting penalty to level matters and that is the way the game finished with both sets of players deserving great credit for their part in an enthralling 30-30 draw.

After the game Wolves Head of Youth Ryan O’Brien said, “I have no doubt in my mind that the New South Wales team had a number of future NRL, State of Origin and International stars, and for our lads to merely compete with them makes us unbelievably proud as staff.

“The first ten minutes of the game was incredibly intense and we managed to come out of that period with the first try. We then learnt the harsh reality of playing against extremely talented, athletic and clinical players when New South Wales scored four back-to-back tries following our errors and misreads.

“This group just refuse to give in, though, and they managed to claw their way back in the game to take it down to the wire and come away with a draw.”

Warrington Wolves Academy produced an excellent display to claim a fully deserved victory over Wests Tigers in their second Australia tour game at Kirkham Oval, Camden Valley Way, Elderslie on Saturday afternoon.

The Wolves opened the scoring after twelve minutes.

When a fine thirty yard break from scrum half Joe Hickey put his side on the front foot.

After they then forced a goal line drop out they went down the short side and full back Noah Booth found second row Peter Scott and his ball was collected by winger Jake Thewlis out wide to score in the right corner.

Booth converted from the touchline and then just after the midway point of the half the Wolves forced an error inside the West Tigers twenty metre line.

Centre Deacon Connolly collected the loose ball before being held just short but from a quick play the ball hooker Ben Hartill long cut out ball over the top found Thewlis who squeezed over in the right corner.

Booth added another fine conversion.

Just before the half hour the Wolves moved further clear when a ball on the last tackle from Hartill was picked up by Hickey and he stepped round three defenders to score on the right.

Booth converted and then three minutes later a deep swirling high kick on the last tackle from stand off Adam Whalley was fumbled by the Tigers and from the scrum Whalley found centre Ethan Smith who twisted in the tackle to score on the left.

Booth added the conversion.

Three minutes before the break back-to-back penalties for the Tigers put them deep into Wolves territory.

After stand off Marc Tannous had been held just short Aaron Keppie found fellow substitute Dougie Tuala who crashed over at the side of the posts.

Tannous converted to make the half time score 24-6 to the Wolves as a late penalty attempt from Booth went just wide.

Wests Tigers got off to the perfect start in the second half when a brilliant fifty metre break down the middle from prop forward Jekope Sovau/

In the first set split the Wolves defence and he found substitute Jared Haywood in support to score under the posts.

Scrum half Luke Keppie converted but then four minutes later Sovau was sin binned for a dangerous tip tackle.

Whilst he was off the field the Wolves made the extra man count as substitute Noah High slipped a pass to Whalley whose short ball was collected by second row Nolan Tupaea and he stepped round a defender before offloading to Smith who scored on the left.

Just before the hour the Wolves were over once again when a superb early kick, on the second tackle of the set, from Whalley into the in-goal area saw Tupaea react fastest to ground the ball just before it went dead to score on the left.

Booth converted but then two minutes from time Wests gained a consolation try when substitute Dougie Tuala was held just short but a quick play the ball saw A Keppie find Tuala and he crashed over at the side of the posts.

Tannous added the conversion to make the final score 34-18 to a delighted Warrington Wolves side.

After the game Wolves Head of Youth Ryan O’Brien said: “It was a very good team performance and another brilliant developmental experience for our players.

We were aggressive, physical, disciplined, and went after a bigger West Tigers team from the first whistle.

Whilst we made plenty of improvements from the first game, we still have a lot more to learn and will be working hard to address some key areas in training this week ahead of our game against New South Wales next Saturday.”
