Briers on song in Wolves stroll

Warrington half-back Lee Briers returned to action to help the Wolves secure a 50-10 Stobart Super League victory over London Broncos at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Briers had a hand in all four of his side's first-half tries from Chris Bridge (2), Joel Monaghan and Ryan Atkins as the Wolves built a 22-10 interval lead.

Atkins went over for his second score after the break and Stefan Ratchford followed him before Briers added a brace of tries of his own.

Four-try hero Leroy Cudjoe's length-of-the-field solo touchdown lit up Huddersfield's 66-6 home demolition of promoted Widnes.

Academy product Luke George also scored a hat-trick in a 12-try rout that featured nine goals from the influential Danny Brough.

Luke Robinson, Scott Grix, Jason Chan, Joe Wardle and Greg Eden also went over for the Giants with Paddy Flynn claiming Widnes' solitary try.

Craig Sandercock secured his first win in charge of Hull KR at Wakefield, although the 22-10 triumph may have come at some cost as scrum-half Michael Dobson picked up a shoulder injury.

Mickey Paea, Constantine Mika went over in the first half with Josh Hodgson and Rhys Lovegrove following suit after the break.

Battling Bradford recovered from their heavy home defeat against Catalan Dragons to bag their first win of the new Stobart Super League season with a 20-12 triumph at Castleford.

Jarrod Sammut, Tom Burgess and Brett Kearney crossed for the Bulls' tries with Luke Gale sending over four goals.
