Wakefield Trinity survived the sending off of Emre Guler to progress to the semi-finals of the Super League playoffs for the first time after proving to be far too strong for Leigh Leopards.
In just three years, they have taken the club from the Championship to within 80 minutes of a first appearance in the Super League Grand Final.
Wakefield, roared on by a full house in West Yorkshire, began with the greater intent and purpose.
Jowitt couldn’t convert that second Wakefield try but 12-0 seemed like a scoreline which felt large given the prize at stake, as well as underlining Trinity’s dominance to that point.

Summarized version
Just like in the first half, Wakefield not only started the stronger of the two sides, but they were the side to claim the next points. Trinity dug deep and withstood further Leigh pressure, with a penalty from Jowitt heading into the final ten minutes giving them valuable breathing space.

Vagana and Faatili’s second-half tries seal victory.
Wakefield Trinity survived the sending off of Emre Guler to progress to the semi-finals of the Super League playoffs for the first time after proving to be far too strong for Leigh Leopards.
Trinity, so long one of Super League’s perennial strugglers, have been revitalised under the ownership of Matt Ellis and the head coach Daryl Powell. In just three years, they have taken the club from the Championship to within 80 minutes of a first appearance in the Super League Grand Final.
Even the dismissal of Guler with 20 minutes remaining couldn’t halt Wakefield’s push as they had far too much quality for a Leigh side who couldn’t live with the skill and physicality of a Trinity team who look well equipped to go again next week.
Wakefield, roared on by a full house in West Yorkshire, began with the greater intent and purpose.
Smoothy was again influential, his pass opening up the space for Trinity to execute a pinpoint set move, giving Tom Johnstone just enough room to touch down in the corner despite pressure from Umyla Hanley.
Jowitt couldn’t convert that second Wakefield try but 12-0 seemed like a scoreline which felt large given the prize at stake, as well as underlining Trinity’s dominance to that point.
Lachlan Lam’s imperious work close to the ruck afforded the space for a Leopards break downfield and from it David Armstrong was set free and had the pace to beat the chasing Wakefield defenders.
