Wakefield Wildcats top early Super League table

YOUNGSTER Dale Morton scored twice as Wakefield saw off battling Catalans 28-20 to claim their second win of the new Engage Super League season.

The 19-year-old Academy product benefited from two Danny Brough passes as the Wildcats recovered from a 16-10 deficit in the second half at the Hearwell Stadium.

Glenn Morrison also touched down in the Wakefield recovery, adding to earlier tries from Dale Ferguson and Luke George.

Catalans twice led after tries from Dimitri Pelo, Olivier Elima and Sebastian Martins but Chris Walker's late effort proved mere consolation.

Two tries from Hull KR winger Peter Fox and the unerring boot of Michael Dobson helped Justin Morgan's side claim a deserved winning start to the Super League season at Craven Park.

Dobson also added a try to finish with 16 points to add weight to Morgan's claims that this could be a good year for the East Yorkshire side.

Hull KR won 30-12.

Chris Riley became the first Warrington player to score five touchdowns in a Super League match as Harlequins were on the receiving end of an 11-try blitz this afternoon, the Wolves running out 58-0 winners.

There was joy too for Adrian Morley. who celebrated the arrival of his second child by leading his side to a mesmerising victory.

The Wolves skipper had a sleepless night with partner Clare giving birth to a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning, but he insisted on playing for Warrington in their first match of the 2010 season.

Quins thrashed Warrington 60-8 at the Twickenham Stoop in Tony Smith's second match in charge of the Wolves last March, but there was never any chance of a repeat with the Wolves ripping into the Quins from the start and leading 12-0 after only seven minutes.
