Coach Daryl Powell’s side comprehensively outlplayed Warrington Wolves to win today’s (Saturday) Betfred Super League Grand Final 23-10 in front of a sold-out 71,728 crowd at Old Trafford. Trinity led 19-0 at the brreak through tries by Lachlan Walmsley, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga, plus three Max Jowitt conversions and a Jack Sinfield penalty.
Corey Hall’s sin-binning in the second half gave Warrington hope and Aaron Lindop crossed for a brace of tries either side of one for Trinity’s Tom Johnstone, who was named man of the match. Here’s how the Wakefield players rated.
