Man of the match Carvell returned from injury and Westwood from suspension, with both playing key roles in the 10-try victory.

"They were the two best players on the field," said Smith. "We were professional with the ball and scored some nice tries."

He added: "We were a little patchy in the first half with three errors but lifted it in the second half. The job went well.

"York have two cheeky little brothers in Paul and David March who probably annoy their own mother! They were feisty and had a go and can be proud of themselves."

Smith refused to comment on reports linking Martin Gleeson with Wigan.

He said: "I can't tell you anything except he and Adrian Morley were rested."

York had prop Danny Ekis sent off after 64 minutes when they trailed 34-10 and Louis Anderson was yellow-carded for retaliation.

James Ratcliffe, the York director of rugby, said: "It's hard enough playing against a Super League team with 13 players never mind 12 but four tries conceded in the last 10 minutes didn't do us justice.

"It was a valiant effort from our lads. It was a very good performance against world-class stars and full-time opposition. Hopefully it will prove a springboard for our season."
