WARRINGTON WOLVES“Cheating” – Sky Sports pundit accuses Warrington Wolves of “cheating” in key tryby Cam PattisonMarch 8, 2024

Sky Sports pundits Jon Wilkin and Paul Cooke have assessed the winning try scored by Warrington Wolves to secure the win over Hull KR in Round Four of the Betfred Super League.

The Robins were leading 20-18 until Matt Dufty darted over from a scrum play to secure a 22-20 win,

Jon Wilkin began the assessment of the try and said Hull KR should have “cheated” and broken out of the scrum earlier to stop the try.

He said: “Yeah, John Wells called five Warrington players on three Hull KR players. It was an excellent run by Matt Dufty. He was hidden and his speed is what creates this.

“But Hull KR can defend this better. You need more push out the scrum. So your second row is not even broken. You’ve got to cheat, Brian! So you’ve got to cheat. Yeah, they have got to get out the scrum earlier.”

This led to Paul Cooke highlighting that Warrington stole the edge here by cheating themselves with Paul Vaughan clinging onto an opposition player’s shirt in the scrum.

Cooke said: “Paul Vaughan’s cheating. Paul Vaughan’s cheating. He’s holding on to the shirt. They’ve got to get out of the scrum quicker.”
