Overview
- Wakefield defeated Warrington 23-10 on Saturday to claim their first Super League crown and become only the sixth club to win the competition.
- Trinity built a match-defining 19-0 half-time lead with tries from Cameron Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga plus a Jack Sinfield drop goal and three Max Jowitt conversions.
- The second half saw Corey Hall sin-binned for a high tackle, Arron Lindop score twice for Warrington, and Tom Johnstone score a crucial try and earn the Rob Burrow Award.
- The title completes a rapid revival that began after Wakefield’s 2023 relegation and included promotion in 2025 and a shock semi-final win over Wigan the previous week.
- The victory hands coach Daryl Powell and owner Matt Ellis a validated five-year plan, raises questions over several player futures including Lachlan Walmsley’s unsigned status, and positions Wakefield to build on newfound momentum.
