Brierley was also a perfect 7-for-7 on conversion kicks in the blowout win. Kay had a try and each half, with Darcy Lussick, Bob Beswick, Andy Ackers and Cory Paterson also scoring. It was Lussick's first try as a member of the Wolfpack and Paterson's first after missing a lengthy spell due to injury.

The Wolfpack's new addition paid immediate dividends for the team in his first game.

The Wolfpack return to Canada next week for the team's first home game on Canadian soil this season. However, the 4:30 p.m. ET match against the Swinton Lions on May 5 will take place more than 40 kilometres north of their usual home in downtown Toronto due to ongoing renovations at Lamport Stadium.
