    TRY: Warrington 20-6 Brisbanepublished at 26 mins

    Corey Oates

    Andrew McCullough's kick finds Jordan Kahu, and Broncos get the ball out to Corey Oates on the left wing.

    He does well to hold on to the ball as he goes over, spiraling through the air under a heavy hit but grounding it safely.

    That's a bit of a warning for Warrington.

    Warrington 20-0 Brisbane

    I'm not sure who it is, but one of the Broncos players throws his arms up in despair as a team-mate cuts back towards the centre of the field, with a bit of space to work with out wide.

    The reaction just about sums up their night.

    As poor as Brisbane have been though, Warrington have been clinical.

    Warrington 20-0 Brisbane

    I don't think many people would have predicted this scoreline.

    Brisbane finally work an opportunity for Anthony Milford to put a kick through close to the Warrington line, but it's far too powerful for a team-mate to get onto it.

    The visitors just have not turned up tonight.

    NRL?! Where have you gone?! Brilliant footwork from Matty Russell to finish the play. He had to beat about five people!

    Warrington look a great team with Kevin Brown in this outfit.

    This is unreal rugby league from Warrington.

    Lightning-fast passing gets the ball out to Matty Russell on the right wing, and he darts inside, through at least three tackles and over the line.

    Declan Patton is perfect with a difficult kick - the lead is up to 20.

    Warrington 14-0 Brisbane

    It seems a long while since I was talking about fears of an Aussie whitewash.

    There's plenty of time for a side with the quality of Brisbane to get back into the game, but they're being outplayed early on.

    Broncos are clearly rattled, David Mead the latest player to make an error, spilling a high kick deep inside his own half.

    Warrington 14-0 Brisbane

    Injured Warrington captain Chris Hill on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra: "We've controlled the ruck and put pressure on their kickers.

    "We knew they'd come out at 100 miles per hour but we're beating them up front at the moment."

  8. Atkins adds Warrington's second trypublished at 14 mins

    That's why Warrington invested in Kevin Brown's services. He picked out Ryan Atkins and made the right pass.

    It's a great start from the Wolves. Maybe an element of rustiness from Brisbane, but who cares?

    Ryan Atkins

    Brisbane are caught offside, giving Warrington a chance to attack from 20 metres out.

    Kevin Brown is instrumental once again, getting the final pass to Ryan Atkins, who powers through a tackle and stretches over the line.

    Declan Patton makes his third kick of the night. Incredible start for the Super League side.

    Warrington 8-0 Brisbane

    Brisbane start with the ball right next to their own line, but again they carry it back into Wolves territory.

    Ben Hunt's kick has too much on it, the ball rolling out of play.

    The visitors' kicking game hasn't been great quality so far, and that's allowing Warrington to defend with relative ease so far.

    Warrington 8-0 Brisbane

    Brisbane carry the ball into Warrington territory, but Ben Hunt's high kick is fielded safely under little pressure.

    Wolves aren't doing as much with the ball in hand as their Australian counterparts, but they're doing the basics better so far.

    Kyle: Dream start for Warrington and Brown on his debut. Crucial they kick on now as that try won't affect Brisbane at all.

    Declan Patton stays perfect with his kicking and Warrington are eight points up.

    Brisbane haven't showed up yet, but there's a long way to go.

    Warrington 6-0 Brisbane

    That is the perfect start for Warrington.

    They make decent territory on their next set of six, and win a penalty around 20 metres out from the Brisbane line.

    It looks like they'll try to kick the points.

    A great start for Kevin Brown and the Wolves. He made the right decision by going down the short side and got himself over.

    What a start from Warrington!

    Joe Westerman charges the ball down around 20 metres from his own line and races towards the other end.

    He can't go all the way, but Kevin Brown picks the ball up and takes it on himself, crossing for a try on his Wolves debut. 

    Declan Patton easily converts the two points.

    Warrington 0-0 Brisbane

    Brisbane kick the game off, a deep one fielded without trouble.

    A bit of drizzle in the air, but still decent enough conditions out there tonight.
