Wakefield quartet lock in England spots with star displays in Grand Final fairytale
Tom Johnstone
Tom Johnstone celebrates his try in the Super League Grand Final.

Wakefield Trinity are Super League champions – after Daryl Powell’s side completed the most remarkable sporting fairytale of modern times to win the Grand Final.

A Championship team just two years ago, Trinity are now kings of Super League after comfortably beating Warrington 23-10 at Old Trafford.

Here are the ratings.. with some very high performers from some sure-fire England players..

Max Jowitt: 8

What a night for the Wakefield academy graduate. Outstanding from start to finish – not least midway through the second half when he needed a dislocated finger putting back in on multiple occasions.

Lachlan Walmsley: 8

Another who bowed out in Wakefield colours with a marvellous display. Somebody sign him!

Cam Scott: 7

Finished with a solid display – and leaves a Grand Final winner and try-scorer.

Corey Hall: 7

The sin-bin lowers his mark somewhat but he linked up with Johnstone to devastating effect.

Tom Johnstone: 9

Absolutely sensational, if there was any doubt left he should be playing for England: there isn’t any now.

Jake Trueman: 9

Another who has forced his way into England contention with his late-season performances.

Jack Sinfield: 8

Will remember that drop goal for the rest of his life!

Ky Rodwell: 8

A blockbuster display upfront from a superb forward.

Tyson Smoothy: 9

How on Earth do you replace him? The best player in Super League by a distance in the second half of 2026. It has been a joy to watch him. World-class.

Mike McMeeken: 9

Yet another who has rubber-stamped his ticket to Australia for the World Cup. Without doubt Wakefield’s standout forward in the front and the back row.

Isaiah Vagana: 9

Emulates his father with a Grand Final winner’s ring – and got a try to boot. Another superstar in the making.

Zac Lipowicz: 8

What an inspired mid-season pick-up he has been.

Jazz Tevaga: 9

Signed for the big games and the big moments – and he proved it yet again.

Jay Pitts: 8

Retires a Grand Final winner. In a team full of superstars, Pitts’ story is one of the greatest of them all.

Mason Lino: 7

Came on and did a good shift.

Caleb Hamlin-Uele: 9

Sensational yet again. We thought Wakefield’s pack would be crucial and Hamlin-Uele led from the front. England certainty like a few others.

Caius Faatili: 8

Him and his partner in crime delivered yet again; Warrington couldn’t live with them.
