Warrington Wolves made it through to the Super League Grand Final with a 14-12 victory over Leeds Rhinos, a controversial penalty proving the difference at Headingley Stadium.
It marks Warrington's first Grand Final since 2018 and they have never been victors in the big dance before. Leeds, meanwhile, are left waiting once again, with their last Grand Final victory coming all the way back in 2017.
The flashpoint of the match came in the 68th minute when James McDonnell was pinged for an escort on George Williams. It appeared as though Williams had potentially run into the Leeds man's line, but despite the Rhinos using their Captain's Challenge the decision was upheld and Ewan Irwin sent over the conversion to win the game.

Remarkably, with no time remaining on the clock, Jake Connor attempted to send over a penalty for Leeds from 62 metres out to level the game but could not get enough power on it.
