Irwin Penalty Sends Warrington to Grand Final

Ewan Irwin's dramatic late penalty secured a 14-12 victory for Warrington Wolves over Leeds Rhinos, booking their place in the Super League Grand Final.

Warrington Wolves advanced to their first Super League Grand Final in almost a decade, defeating Leeds Rhinos 14-12 in a thrilling playoff semi-final. The victory puts Sam Burgess' side within 80 minutes of ending a 69-year wait for a league title.

The Wire, who haven't won a championship since 1955, will now face either Catalans Dragons or St Helens at Old Trafford. The decisive moment came when Irwin stepped up to convert a late penalty, securing Warrington's passage despite a valiant effort from the Rhinos at Headingley. biznow.biz
