Smith: There are lessons to be learnt

Warrington head coach Tony Smith admits his side were too careless in the second half, surrendering a lead and eventually succumbing to a 35-28 defeat at the hands of Wigan.

“That second half was well in our control but great credit to Wigan. They lifted when they went a man down,” Smith told Sky Sports.

“I thought they had some harsh calls and we had a couple of harsh calls as well.

“You have got to be able to manage those and some of ours were self-inflicted.

“We had a bit of a blueprint in how we could put points on them and we went away from that, we got a bit impatient.

“That’s a learning process for a few people out there, sometimes the hard way and we will learn some big lessons for hopefully some of the big games to come.”
