The Warriors eased the pressure on their boss with a 30-22 victory over Salford at the AJ Bell Stadium, where England stand-off George Williams scored a hat-trick of tries.

It completed a memorable 24 hours for the former Papua New Guinea international, whose 20-year-old son Lachlan helped his old club to a 26-18 win over Manly.

"It's been an emotional week," he said. "I'm exhausted now purely off the back of the win today and Lachlan making his debut yesterday.

"It was a pretty special moment and I've just got make sure I don't get emotional because they're all bagging me for being an emotional father.

"I'm just proud of him and happy that he played well. He set up a try and defended really great. It's been a childhood dream of his to wear the red, white and blue."
