Warrington edge past Leeds to reach Grand Final
Warrington Wolves reach their first Super League Grand Final in eight years with a thrilling victory against Leeds Rhinos.
Warrington Wolves have secured their first Super League Grand Final appearance in eight years, triumphing over Leeds Rhinos at AMT Headingley Stadium. The semi-final ended in a 12-12 draw after both teams scored twice in the first half. Warrington edged ahead with a penalty kick executed by 18-year-old Ewan Irwin. Half-back Jake Connor contributed 10 points for Leeds, including a midfield try creation and a failed goal kick attempt.
The decisive moment came after the break when James McDonnell's challenge on George Williams resulted in a penalty kick for Warrington. Connor's sensational try in the final two minutes fell short of the posts, and Williams successfully kicked the ball into touch to secure Leeds' place in the final. Warrington will face either Wigan Warriors or Wakefield Trinity in the showpiece event at Old Trafford next Saturday.
