Super League Grand Final highlights featuring Warrington Wolves and Wakefield Trinity.
Wakefield Trinity lifted the Super League trophy for the first time, beating Warrington Wolves 23‑10 at Old Trafford.
It marked Wakefield’s debut Grand Final appearance, and they seized glory on that maiden run.
The victory makes them the sixth club to win the Super League, joining Wigan, St Helens, Leeds, Bradford and Hull KR.
A fairy‑tale ending for a side relegated in 2023, back in the top flight for 2025 and now champions.
An electric pass from Lachlan Walmsley unlocked Cameron Scott in the corner, giving Wakefield the opening lead.
Wakefield built a 19‑0 halftime advantage, with tries from Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga, while Max Jowitt nailed the conversions.
Jack Sinfield added the extra point just before the break.
Early in the second half Corey Hall was sin‑binned for a high shot on Arron Lindop, who scored with the man down and added another, the first converted by Ewan Irwin.
A try from winger Tom Johnstone proved enough to keep Wakefield comfortably ahead.
Johnstone collected the Rob Burrow Award for his outstanding work on both sides of the ball.
Wakefield complete the fairy tale with stunning Grand Final win
In front of a sold‑out, buzzing Old Trafford, Wakefield delivered a flawless first 40 minutes.
They thought they had scored in the sixth minute when Johnstone crossed, but video review showed he was held up and forced into touch.
Six minutes later a dazzling no‑look, one‑handed flick from Walmsley found Scott, and Jowitt’s conversion put them 6‑0 up.
Wakefield rattled off two rapid tries to seize total control of the final.
While the contest was back‑and‑forth, Wakefield’s pack generated easier metres, turning every set into pressure.
In the 25th minute Jake Trueman’s pressure kick lifted Johnstone, who floated a pass to Vagana for a try, with Jowitt adding the extras.
Just over ten minutes on, Tyson Smoothy threatened, then Tevaga faked and powered over, Jowitt again perfect with the boot.
With under two minutes left in the half, Jack Sinfield calmly slotted a drop goal, extending the lead to 19‑0.
The second half opened with drama as Corey Hall’s sin‑bin gave Warrington a chance, and they responded.
Irwin darted a dummy, passed wide, and Lindop walked over unchallenged, his conversion bringing the score to 19‑6.
Warrington rallied quickly after Corey Hill’s high‑tackle sin‑bin.
A potential Matty Ashton try was ruled out for a forward pass, keeping the game in Wakefield’s favour.
When parity returned, Wakefield surged again, with Caleb Hamlin‑Uele’s metres finding Johnstone, whose footwork produced a sensational finish, stretching the lead to 23‑6 with 20 minutes left.
A brilliant try further widened Wakefield’s Grand Final lead.
Warrington fought back, keeping the last tackle alive; Irwin’s looping pass found Lindop for a second try, but the conversion missed, leaving it 23‑10.
Time ran out, Wakefield held firm, and their names were etched on the Super League trophy.
Jowitt: A rollercoaster of a year for me – highs are worth the lows
“A million per cent the highs are worth the lows.”
“It didn’t feel real that we were playing a Grand Final until we got here today.”
“A rollercoaster of a year for me personally after dropping down to the reserves, not finding form, but I got my opportunity at the back end of the year. For my money, this season proves Wakefield’s resilience.”
“For this to be my last game for Wakefield, I will never forget it.”
‘Emotional’ Johnstone: I can’t believe it – my dream for the last decade!
“I can’t quite believe it. I keep crying, I can’t help myself! Such a special club, it’s been the longest week of my life.”
“To get out there and get it done, I don’t know what to say.”
“This club means everything to me. I’ve been saying it for a long time. My dream the last 10 years was to win a Grand Final with Wakefield.”
Player of the match Tom Johnstone reflects on his performance that helped Wakefield secure a stunning Grand Final win.
“Daryl Powell sold me the dream that we were a club that had aspirations and wanted to win things.”
“I believed every word they said and this is where we are now.”
“We don’t do this without that belief we have. We built our foundation on that.”
Powell: We have produced flawless rugby league and will get better
“It’s unbelievable really, the story. Where we’ve come from and our ability to go toe‑to‑toe with the best teams in the competition.”
“We had a bit of a rocky period with the 10‑minute sin‑binning, but we were superb today.”
“That’s a big performance from an unbelievable group of blokes.”
Wakefield Trinity head coach Daryl Powell reflects on guiding his side to their first Super League Grand Final triumph.
“We just kept talking about it, and the players have gradually developed and got better. Then it becomes a reality when they see what they are capable of.”
“Last week and the start today, almost three flawless halves of rugby league.”
“We went to Wigan last week, and that was a hell of a job to go there and win, and it showed us what we could do.”
“We kept that belief coming into this game. We are a proper team and we’re going to get better.”
Warrington Wolves head coach Sam Burgess reflects on his side’s Grand Final defeat.
“We physically lost the first half.”
“The stats were relatively similar in terms of possession and completion, but they beat us physically.”
“They’ve had a red‑hot finish to the season.”
“I’m very proud of my group, as it quite easily could have got messy today. We stuck together. But it hurts.”
“I don’t think I’ll have any regrets. We showed a lot of spirit in the second half. We are disappointed no doubt. But regrets? No.”
“It was Wakefield’s day today. The challenge is to now take that next step. It will be a long few weeks away. Will they build on this momentum next season?”
