Smith happy with “ugly” win

Warrington boss Tony Smith admitted Monday’s 26-24 victory over Huddersfield wasn’t a memorable game, but says picking up two more points was the most important thing.

Wolves’ win was their second over the Easter weekend and took Smith’s team up to ninth in the Super League table.

“It was ugly but it was two points – it wasn’t the prettiest of games by a long shot but we hung on,” said Smith.

“It’s been a while I would suggest since we won both our games over Easter so, because of where we are placed in the table, it was probably important to pick up the two points.

“In terms of performance it was very much a second-game-over-Easter performance from both teams. The big men looked tired today and came up with some stuff they normally don’t come up with.”
