Warrington swept to their fourth win in a row and compounded Wigan's woes.

Skipper Lee Briers notched a try, helped set up several others and booted seven goals, plus a drop goal.

Smart passing put Stuart Reardon over in the corner with just three minutes gone then Kevin Penny raced 40 yards to grab bag his 10th try in eight starts.

Wigan threatened a recovery when Phil Bailey and Chris Ashton combined for Liam Colbon to go over but Briers then forced his way through from dummy-half.

"We've had to work hard and chase the pack to climb to fourth and received our reward.

"It's been very hard to get into the top four but it'll be harder to stay there.

"We knew Thomas Leuluai and Trent Barrett were outstanding players and Iefeta Paleaaesina would take some holding, and if we had lost our focus they would have done some damage.

"But we put Wigan under pressure with some great defence."

"Full credit to Warrington, they showed some great touches.

"Our start is proving a bit of a problem, and maybe there is some emotional fallout (from the defeat by Catalans Dragons in the Challenge Cup semi-final last weekend).

"Last week was very tough and we promised ourselves no excuses. But in the first half we could not get past plays one or two.

"We were more positive in the second half but did not help ourselves overall and gave away a lot of field position.

"The effort is there but it has been a pretty terrible two weeks. We are licking our wounds but have to roll our sleeves up and come through on the other side."
