Williams scores in Warrington's victory at Hull KR

Warrington Wolves secured a significant victory over defending Super League champions Hull KR, thanks to a late try from Liam Byrne and a powerful second from George Williams. The match, which took place after being rescheduled, saw Williams make his first appearance since returning from neck surgery, scoring his first try for the team.

He scored the match-defining try before half-time, propelling Warrington ahead. Hull KR, however, managed to close the gap with tries from Mikey Lewis, Karl Lawton, Albert Hopoate, and Toafofoa Sipley. Ewan Irwin, Liam Byrne, and George Williams all scored goals for Warrington, while Dean Hadley and Tevita Pangai Jr added points for Hull KR. The win puts Warrington Wolves just behind the top two in the competition.
