Warrington's 2020 Performances Ranked

We've had the squad rankings, so now it's time to take a look back at Warrington's team performances this season, and rank them from worst to best.  

20) Leeds 36-0 Warrington
Super League Round Five
28th February 2020
Headingley Stadium

Unsurprisingly, finishing last in the countdown is the Headingley debacle in February. Wire were appalling that night and put in one of their worst performances in the Super League era.

19) Warrington 14-27 Hull FC

Super League Playoffs Round One
12th November 2020

Wire's most recent humilation comes in next. An exit at home in the first round of the playoffs, and a dreadful, error-strewn performance to go with it.

18) Wakefield 18-8 Warrington

Super League Round Three

Mobile Rocket Stadium
Set of Six Article

After nilling St Helens in the second game of the season, Wire put in a poor performance on an appalling playing surface a week later, losing by ten points to Wakefield.

Challenge Cup Semi-Finals
3rd October 2020
Totally Wicked Stadium
Set of Six Article

One of the most disappointing results of the season was the Challenge Cup exit, Wire unable to defend their title from 2019. Wire got their tactics and gameplan badly wrong in terrible conditions and Salford prospered to make the final.

Super League Round 14
9th October 2020
Headingley Stadium
Set of Six Article

Wire were edged out late on with a Zak Hardaker try as Wigan came from 12-0 down to defeat their rivals, with Steve Price's men struggling to make their territory and possession count.

15) Warrington 32-22 Toronto

Super League Round Four
21st February 2020
Halliwell Jones Stadium
Set of Six Article

A game that the history books will say didn't happen, but it did. Wire nearly threw away a commanding lead against newly-promoted Toronto, and ended up staggering home to the win.

14) Warrington 32-6 Leeds

Super League Round Fifteen
13th October 2020
Halliwell Jones Stadium
Set of Six Article

Super League Round One
30th January 2020

The 2020 season began for Warrington nearly ten months ago with a narrow loss away at Wigan. Co-captain Chris Hill was sent off early, and Wire put in a very respectable and encouraging showing despite being on the wrong end of the scoreline.

9) Castleford 10-12 Warrington

Super League Round Eleven
10th September 2020
Totally Wicked Stadium
Set of Six Article

Perhaps the most memorable moment of 2020 was Matty Ashton racing away after great work from Declan Patton and Ben Currie to set him free and win the game late on against Castleford, with Wire down to the bare bones in terms of squad availibility.

8) Warrington 40-10 Hull KR

Super League Round Eight

6) Salford 20-18 Warrington

Super League Round Thirteen
29th September 2020

A game which ended up being Wire putting out a team of youngsters turned out to be one of the most impressive performances of the season, Wire pushing Salford's regulars all the way and nearly pulling off a famous victory.

5) Warrington 36-0 Wakefield

Set of Six Article

This was the last time Warrington played in front of a crowd, a comfortable win away at Hull. Austin and Gareth Widdop combined well as the Wire secured their first away victory of 2020.

3) Warrington 20-18 St Helens

Set of Six Article

Warrington's good recent record against St Helens continued with an excellent performance to secure passage to the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup in September, Josh Charnley bagging a brace as Wire saw out the game very professionally.

2) Warrington 37-12 Hull FC

Super League Round Eleven
4th September 2020
 Headingley Stadium
Set of Six Article

A performance full of commitment, effort, work and passion. Wire were missing ten first-teamers through injury, suspension and players being stood down yet came up with one of their best performances in recent years to overwhelm Hull FC and get a big win. Mike Cooper and Stefan Ratchford were especially outstanding.

1) Warrington 19-0 St Helens

Super League Round Two
6th February 2020
Halliwell Jones Stadium
Set of Six Article

Which means that the best performance of Warrington's season came in Round Two, Wire nilling defending champions St Helens and scoring tries through Daryl Clark, Tom Lineham and Josh Charnley. Wire's defence was impeccable all match and they worked all night to ensure Saints remained on zero. Saints were missing Lachlan Coote and Alex Walmsley, but this was still a brilliant display from Steve Price's team.
