Warrington (24) 66 Tries: Bridge, Atkins 3, Myler, Monaghan, King 2, Anderson 2, Cooper Goals: Hodgson, Bridge 10
Wakefield (12) 12 Tries: Amor, Smith Goals: Veivers 2
Warrington scored 11 tries as they subjected Wakefield to a crushing Super League defeat.
Ryan Atkins scored a hat-trick, with Chris Bridge, Matt King (2), Louis Anderson (2), Richie Myler, Joel Monaghan and Mike Cooper also crossing.
Bridge took over kicking duties from Brett Hodgson, who went off injured, and scored 10 goals.
Kyle Amor and Jeremy Smith scored tries for Wakefield but they were never really in the game.
Wakefield had won only one of their last 11 games and were immediately on the back foot when Bridge strolled over from Hodgson's pass after only 60 seconds.
Atkins extended Warrington's lead with his first try before Amor crossed after pouncing on Julien Rinaldi's kick when it rebounded off a defender.
The Wildcats were back in trouble from the kick-off when Dale Morton's mistake paved the way for Myler to go over.
Bridge then created an opportunity for Monaghan to add another try - sending Warrington into the break 24-6 ahead.
We lost the penalty count 13-4 and you can't give a team like Warrington that much possession. It's like fighting Muhammad Ali with your hands behind your back and that's why the scoreline ended like it did
Wakefield coach, John Kear
After half-time King grabbed the home side's fifth try and that was followed by two more scores in quick succession from Anderson and Atkins.
Warrington continued to press forward and Atkins completed his hat-trick on the hours before Anderson and King extended the lead to 60-6.
Cooper completed the Wolves' scoring before Ryan Tongia created a late opportunity for Smith.
