'LET Wolfie have a go,' was one cry from the North Stand as Wolves players appeared shy to come forward for the conversion attempt to Jon Clarke's first try in the 30-12 defeat of Hull Kingston Rovers at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday.

The respective hamstring and groin injuries to sidelined Lee Briers and Chris Bridge left Wolves without a recognised kicker for the first ever Super League clash between the two sides on a day when the twisting wind made life difficult for kicking.

Michael Sullivan showed his midweek practice had paid off when he landed a conversion to Henry Fa'afili's opening try from the touchline.

But, by the time Paul Johnston touched down Wolves' second try Sullivan had been replaced by Mark Gleeson, leaving Jon Clarke with the responsibility and although he had been practicing he screwed his attempt low and across the face of the goal posts.

Clarke handed responsibility to Westwood after Westwood's try, leaving the crowd wondering if the new policy was for players to convert their own tries.

Westwood made no mistake from in front of the posts and, feeling confident, stepped up for the more difficult attempt to Johnson's second try in the second half.

The powerful forward put all his might into the kick from the touchline and the ball was still rising when it reached the sticks, but the ball hit the left-side post and rebounded back into the field of play.

Westwood was then substituted and Wolves appeared to be so excited by Clarke's first try, killing off any hopes of a Rovers fightback, that all 13 players headed back to their own half without a kicker in sight.

Eventually, Clarke put his hand up again and this time made no mistake from in front of the posts although he was wide again with the conversion attempt to his second try nine minutes later.
