Warrington Wolves secured a strong 38-12 victory over Bradford Bulls at Odsal on Saturday, moving the Wolves up to fourth place in the league standings. The match was notable for the contributions of Ewan Irwin, who scored a try and kicked seven goals from half-back, accumulating 18 points in total.

Bradford initially took the lead with a try from Ethan Ryan, who crossed in the corner to put the home side ahead. However, Warrington responded decisively with a surge of three tries before halftime. Matty Ashton, Albert Hopoate, and Toby King all found the try line, shifting the momentum firmly in the visitors' favor.

Warrington continued to dominate in the second half, with Joe Philbin and Jordy Crowther adding further tries to extend their advantage. Both Hopoate and Ashton also scored their second tries of the match, underscoring the Wolves’ attacking strength throughout.

The game also had personal significance for Warrington head coach Sam Burgess, who made a return to Odsal where he played for Bradford Bulls between 2006 and 2009. Despite his history with the Bulls, Burgess’ side left the stadium with a convincing win.

Irwin’s performance stood out not only for his scoring but also for his leadership on the field in the key half-back role. The 18-year-old’s ability to manage both tactical kicking and try-scoring proved vital in Warrington’s triumph.

The result consolidates Warrington’s position near the top of the table and marks a setback for Bradford, who will look to rebound in their upcoming fixtures.
