As Super League celebrated its 5,000th match since its inception in 1996, two of the competition’s giants put on a dramatic show that moves Warrington Wolves up to third in the table, with Leeds staying sixth with three wins and three losses.
It was Leeds who had the advantage at the break despite Warrington opening the scoring through a brilliant converted effort from Arron Lindop, the visitors’ breaking through via James McDonnell and Riley Lumb to take a 10-6 lead in at half-time.

Leeds then extended their lead through Ryan Hall but Warrington hit back through a converted Stefan Ratchford try to reduce their deficit to two points.
The crucial moment then arrived as Keenan Palasia was sent to the sin bin for a high shot and Warrington immediately used their player advantage to send Thewlis over in the corner and mark themselves as the winners of the historic 5,000th Super League match.
