Warrington Wolves vs Wakefield Trinity Super League Grand Final Tips & Prediction
Warrington and Wakefield head to Old Trafford with the bookmakers struggling to separate them, but the Wolves are backed to cover the -2.5 line with George Williams tipped to be the difference.
For the first time in the Super League era, neither Wigan, St Helens, Leeds nor Bradford will feature in the Grand Final, guaranteeing a new name on the trophy.

The Wolves captain has the experience for this stage and heads into his final appearance for the club with the opportunity to deliver the Super League trophy Warrington have been chasing.
In a Grand Final expected to be decided by fine margins, Williams' kicking game, running threat and ability to create something when a set breaks down could prove decisive.
