Kevin Penny scored a quickfire hat-trick of second-half tries as Warrington ensured Salford stayed in deep relegation trouble.

The speedy winger went over three times in eight minutes to take his tally to nine tries in his last six games.

The Wolves took control of the game just before half-time with Lee Briers and Henry Fa'afili both going over.

They dominated the second half with Martin Gleeson and Jon Clarke, with his second, adding to the total.

"Kevin's final try took some scoring. To outpace two chasers was very special and Kevin has the potential to play top level football.

"He has the pace for all to see and has taken his chance exceptionally well.

"Henry Fa'afili delivered him some great balls, Adrian Morley was almost unstoppable and Jon Clarke was very smart from dummy half."

"I thought we would respond after last week's defeat by Wakefield but this was very similar, and we were unable to cope with the conditions and the scoreline reflected the difference between the sides.

"The issue of relegation does not concern me at the moment because if we play well we will win games.

"Too much is being made of it with eight games to go and I don't want to put the blokes under any more pressure but clearly we need to turn things around."
