Wakefield Trinity powered past a struggling Bradford Bulls side, securing a vital win that propels them into second place in the standings. Despite missing Jazz Tevaga and Isaiah Vagana, Trinity’s attack proved far too potent for the visitors. Winger Johnstone set the tone immediately, crossing for his 150th career try inside the opening two minutes, signaling a long afternoon for the Bulls.

Bradford’s discipline crumbled early, gifting territory and penalties away as Trinity established command. Although Jack Sinfield missed the tricky touchline conversions for Johnstone’s first-half hat-trick, the scoreboard kept ticking over. A late first-half score involving Rourke gave Wakefield a commanding 24-0 lead at the interval, effectively ending any real contest before the break.

Second-half efforts saw Pratt notch a treble, taking his season tally to 11, placing him second among the competition's top scorers. While Bradford managed a brief response through Fulton and Peposhi, Trinity kept pressing. Johnstone completed his superb evening with a fourth try, the first time he has achieved that Super League feat.

Ultimately, Bradford suffered their third consecutive defeat, unable to match Trinity’s intensity or clinical finishing. Pratt and Johnstone delivered exceptional performances, ensuring the home side banked the points and cemented their lofty league position after a comprehensive 40-point margin display.
