Kurt Gidley has contributed 20 points with a try and eight conversions in Warrington's highest-ever Super League score against Leeds, a 52-18 thumping on Friday night.
Warrington took full advantage of Leeds' fragility to inflict a nine-try mauling on the reigning Super League champions at Halliwell Jones Stadium.
Trailing only 18-12 after a tightly-contested first half, the Rhinos collapsed in all-too-familiar fashion after the break as the Wolves cruised to victory to return to the top of the table and leave their opponents rooted to the bottom.
To compound their misery, the under-strength Yorkshire side lost England fullback Zak Hardaker with a shoulder injury just before halftime.
Reeling from back-to-back defeats by Wakefield and Castleford, Warrington were boosted by the return of Gidley's fellow Australian and halves partner Chris Sandow, who was the competition's outstanding player up to tearing a hamstring two months into the season.
