Warrington Wolves maintained their 100% start to the Super League season by overcoming a determined York Knights side in a 30-38 thriller. The Wolves dominated early, with Stone, Thewlis, and Cai Taylor-Wray scoring three quick tries in the opening quarter. However, York’s resurgence saw Ben Jones-Bishop and Tom Mata'afa turn the tide, with Mata'afa scoring twice and Balmforth adding a try to level the match at 22-18 by halftime.

The second half saw Warrington’s experience shine, as George Williams and Jordan Rapin sealed the win with late tries, while Adam Milne’s 100th career try and Marc Sneyd’s conversion secured the 12-try victory.
