Boss Willie Poching saluted young winger Lewis Murphy’s miracle tackle as Wakefield forced a dramatic late win against broken Warrington.
A seesaw game was level 24-24 when England star George Williams broke clear and sent Wolves flyer Connor Wrench surging to the line. But Murphy showed remarkable pace to somehow get back and drag his opposite man down in the 74th minute.
Jubilant Trinity then went ahead for the first time two minutes later. After Jacob Miller’s drop goal was charged down by Wolves debutant Thomas Mikaele, impressive second-row Kelepi Tanginoa blasted over to condemn Warrington to a fifth straight defeat.
