An injury to scrum-half Sam Obst in the warm-up left the Wildcats without 10 members of their 26-strong squad through injury and illness, and they were forced to give a debut to 19-year-old part-timer Luke Blake.

But, fresh from their opening 12-6 win at Wigan, the visitors battled superbly and were in the hunt for another shock victory until debutant Danny Buderus sent Ian Kirke over for the match-clinching try seven minutes from the end.

St Helens continued their remarkable stranglehold over Warrington by overturning a 14-0 deficit to run in six second-half tries which secured a 26-14 victory in Mick Potter's first game in charge.

The Wolves, who have now won only one of 34 Super League meetings with their fierce rivals, went 14-0 ahead after tries from former Saints hooker Mickey Higham and Paul Rauhihi and two goals from Chris Hicks.

However, Saints roared back with tries through Lee Gilmour, Ade Gardner, Matt Gidley (2), James Graham and teenage winger Tom Armstrong.

In Friday other game Wigan's poor start to the season continued at the KC Stadium as they were deservedly beaten 18-10 by a new-look Hull side.

Brian Noble's men have attracted their fair share of criticism since their embarrassing 12-6 opening-day defeat at home to Wakefield last Sunday, and talk of a crisis at the JJB Stadium will rumble on for at least another week thanks to this result.

Second-half tries from Lee Radford and Peter Cusack proved to be the key for Hull in their first outing of the season.
