The former Bradford half-back was replaced in the 13th minute after picking up the injury while centre Matt King also sustained a torn calf and did not reappear in the second half.

"It doesn't help your rotations when you lose a full-back and a centre," said Cullen.

With Warrington's left side exposed due to King's absence, Saints went on on to effectively clinch victory with three tries in seven minutes shortly after the restart through Ade Gardner (two) and Paul Clough.

Significantly, all three scores came in the left-hand corner and Cullen said: "Chris Bridge, it appears, has ruptured his Achilles and he could out for the year.

"King has a possible tear in his calf and couldn't make the second half. He battled on quite bravely because he did it in the first two or three sets of the game.

Cullen conceded that Saints cleverly exploited Warrington's left side in King's absence.

"The game changed on the Matt King injury," acknowledged Cullen.

"I think Saints were very smart and set Matt Gidley right through on to Andy Bracek until Vinnie Anderson came into that left-centre position.

"That is what changed the game and until the final set of the game it's five tries apiece at Knowsley Road, so I think we deserve some credit for that."
