Warrington Wolves fans react to win over Wakefield Trinity

However, there was plenty of concern from the terraces about their side's performance against winless Wakefield Trinity, with The Wire eventually running out 32-18 winners against Super League's bottom side.

Here's some of what fans have been saying on social media... 

Wakefield were immense tonight, in my opinion. And but for the Procter red card (harsh for mine, by the way… Yellow at best???), they possibly could have won it…??? But a wins a win. We need to improve massively for next weeks challenge…

Don’t get into the mindset that we can thrash everyone. In a one off game, 12th could beat 1st given the context and conditions.

I’m just delighted that Wire won. Credit to Wakey, who always, always, always play well against us. 👏

Very muted performance by a first choice pack

Well got to say that was horrible! If @WarringtonRLFC play like that against HR we will get mullered! Wins a win and all that however, performance was well below where it needed to be and got to say some didn’t look interested which was disappointing!

@WarringtonRLFC can count themselves lucky tonight, It nearly turned into the @WTrinityRL and Mason Lino show. Wire showed what they can do in patches but not all through the game tonight, they will have to be better when @hullkrofficial come to town!

@MattTurner_WG Really really not happy with that performance. Shudder to think what might have happened if Wakey had kept 13 on the field. Highlight of our weekend is Wigan & Saint's losing.

Get behind a winning wire! Even the worst team in a top flight poses a threat. Rabid dogs are the most vicious. Good win wire
