Wakefield Trinity have reached the Super League playoff semi-finals for the first time after a commanding victory over Leigh Leopards in the eliminator. The win marks a remarkable turnaround for a club that has long been considered one of Super League's perennial strugglers.

Match Report: Wakefield vs Leigh Leopards
Wakefield began with greater intent and purpose, taking a deserved lead through a Max Jowitt penalty after Joe Ofahengaue's late hit on Mason Lino. The Leopards struggled with the pace of the game, which was dictated by the hosts. Tyson Smoothy's brilliance, including a 40-20, helped Trinity extend their lead.
Even the sending off of Emre Guler with 20 minutes remaining couldn't derail Wakefield's push. They had far too much quality for a Leigh side who couldn't live with the skill and physicality of a Trinity team that looks well-equipped to go again next week.
