Wakefield Trinity secured a commanding 26-14 victory over York Knights at LNER Community Stadium, moving up to third place in the Super League table. Tom Johnstone was the standout performer, crossing for two second-half tries that helped seal the win for the visitors.

York started strong with Sam Wood's 15th-minute try sparking a flurry of four first-half touchdowns. The lead changed hands multiple times before half-time, with Ben Jones-Bishop and Caleb Hamlin-Uele exchanging tries. Oliver Pratt scored twice for Wakefield, while Max Jowitt nailed both conversions to give Trinity a 12-10 halftime advantage.

Wakefield dominated the second half as Johnstone's brace, sandwiched around Nikau Williams' try, put the game beyond York's reach. Pratt added a late score to complete the scoring. The victory came on the same day Wakefield announced NRL star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's signing on a two-year deal for next season.
