Season review

On 12 February, Warrington began their Super League campaign with a 22–20 away win at Leeds Rhinos ^[1] which was followed with wins over Castleford Tigers ^[2] and Toulouse Olympique. ^[3] The run of wins ended when their first loss came against Catalans Dragons in Round 4 ^[4] and they failed to record consecutive wins for the rest of the season. ^[5] Warrington were knocked out of the Challenge Cup at the end of March after losing to a Wakefield Trinity side that had also beaten them in the league in the previous match. ^[6] After a win over Huddersfield Giants in April, Warrington went on a run of five losses before defeating Hull F.C. 4–0 in late June. ^{[7] [8]} A 32–18 victory over Toulouse in mid-August helped Warrington to maintain their gap over the bottom of the table team. ^[9] Warrington finished their season with 32–14 win over Salford Red Devils. ^[10]
