Warrington bounced back from the heartbreak of their Challenge Cup final defeat in devastating fashion with a ruthless 80-10 demolition of a Hull side in freefall.
The Wolves showed no sign of a hangover just five days after their Wembley loss as they romped to a 14-try victory that keeps them clear of fast-finishing Huddersfield, their next opponents in the Super 8s, in the chase for fourth spot.
Only forwards Ben Westwood and Harvey Livett were missing from Warrington's Wembley line-up but their performance was unrecognisable as they racked up their highest Super League score against the Black and Whites.
Centre Bryson Goodwin scored five tries, one short of the Super League record held by Bradford winger Lesley Vainikolo, and fellow Australian Tyrone Roberts scored one and succeeded with 12 of his 14 conversion attempts to finish with a 28-point haul.
Hull, who were without seven regulars through injury, looked like a side desperate for the end of the season as they crashed to a seventh successive defeat and conceded the most points in their history.
They lacked creativity in the absence of Albert Kelly, Marc Sneyd and Jake Connor and their defence was embarrassingly threadbare at times.
