Wakefield Trinity secured a dramatic 26-24 victory over Hull KR with a last-gasp try from Mason Lino on his 100th Super League appearance. The hosts moved to third in the Super League table after trailing 24-20 with just two minutes remaining. Lino crossed and converted his own score to seal a sensational win that adds to Hull KR's recent struggles.

Oli Pratt scored his 15th try of the season to give Wakefield an early advantage before Hull KR responded through Mikey Lewis. The match turned heated with both sides reduced to 12 players after Matty Storton and Sauaso Sue received red cards within a minute of each other. Tyrone May put Hull KR ahead for the first time before Lino's dramatic intervention.

Wakefield honored former coach John Kear before the match, who passed away last week. The victory continues Hull KR's poor run, following their Challenge Cup final defeat to Wigan. Trinity's late surge showcases their championship credentials as they secure a memorable win against the reigning champions.
