2023 so far...

Warrington got their season going quickly out of the blocks, but recent results have seen the Wolves fall behind the top four in the Super League table.

Starting with a 42-10 result against the Rhinos in round one, Powell's side quickly built an eight-game winning streak to sit at the top of the pile. Compared to their bottom three finish last year, Huddersfield, Salford, Hull KR, Leigh, Castleford, Hull FC and Catalans were all defeated between February and April as the Wire's new-look squad got firing in the early stages. Half back Josh Drinkwater looks to have completed the club's spine, which includes England captain George Williams and the electrifying Matt Dufty, plus prop Paul Vaughan and Sam Kasiano added more firepower in the forwards. 

Wigan and St Helens inflicted the first losses of Warrington's season in round nine and ten (the Wolves only scoring one try in each game), but soon the Wolves were back to winning ways against Wakefield, Hull KR and the Dragons in the Cup. 

Despite their strong start to the year, the Wolves are looking for their first win since June as they have lost six league fixtures and a Cup quarter-final. The Rhinos notched one of the losses at the Halliwell Jones in round 17 before Daryl Powell left the club following defeat to Wakefield. Warrington will look for revenge at Headingley this weekend, before taking on Hull FC, Castleford, Salford, St Helens and Huddersfield under interim coach Gary Chambers.
