Warrington (14) 18
Tries: J. Smith, Ashton, Hopoate Goals: Hayes 3
Isaiah Vagana’s two tries set Wakefield Trinity on their way to a comeback win over Warrington Wolves which makes them favourites to land a top-four place in Super League.
The New Zealander struck twice in five second-half minutes to overturn an eight-point half-time deficit against Wolves, whose hopes of finishing in the top two are now at an end
Sam Burgess’ side had taken control in the first half as tries from Josh Smith and Matty Ashton replied to Tom Johnstone’s try for Trinity.
But their six-match winning streak came to an end as Vagana twice powered over and, after Albert Hopoate had levelled the score, Cameron Scott’s try, Max Jowitt’s conversion and Mason Lino’s drop-goal put Wakefield beyond reach.
