THE Wire picked up their first Magic Weekend win since 2014 by seeing off Wigan Warriors at Anfield.
Blake Austin's stunning second-half try inspired Warrington to stretch out to a comfortable lead, with Toby King's long-range effort all but sealing the win.
Dec Patton scored a first-half try and had a perfect record with the boot as Steve Price's side beat Wigan for the third time this year.
